Method and apparatus for scheduling data considering its power in a communication system

摘要

A method for scheduling data in a communication system having a downlink frame structure including power control regions of a boosting region for boosting power of a data burst, a normal region for keeping power of the data burst, and a deboosting region for deboosting power of the data burst. A downlink resource assignment method is provided for minimizing the number of slots wasted during BS downlink resource assignment, and improving the cell coverage area or cell capacity by boosting power of bursts to be assigned to an edge cell user whose Carrier-to-Interference Noise Ratio (CINR) is less that a first threshold for separating a boosting region from a normal region, and deboosting power of bursts to be assigned to a near cell user whose CINR is greater than a second threshold for separating the normal region from a deboosting region.
