METHOD OF ALLOCATING RESOURCE FOR HIERARCHICAL CELLULAR SYSTEM AND TRANSMISSION FRAME FOR PERFORMING THE METHOD

摘要

Described herein is a resource allocation method for a hierarchical cellular system, and a transmission frame for performing the method. A macrocell dedicated resource and a shared resource are respectively controlled based on a usage rate of the macrocell dedicated resource and a usage rate of the shared resource. The macrocell reports a usage plan of the shared resource that the macrocell uses to a small cell, and the small cell may allocate the shared resource to terminals based on the usage plan of the shared resource. A control message related to the usage plan may be transmitted/received via the transmission frame.
