<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and apparatus for resource allocation and scheduling within a wireless communication system. <P>SOLUTION: During resource allocation, maximum total system transmission power (P), a maximum number of codes available (N), a maximum number of codes for each user in the system (N*=(N<SB>1</SB>, ..., N<SB>d</SB>)), a maximum SINR value for each user in the system (S*=(S<SB>1</SB>, ..., S<SB>d</SB>)), and a SINR per watt of transmission power for each user in the system (e*=(e<SB>1</SB>, ..., e<SB>d</SB>)) are received by a scheduler (201). The scheduler then outputs (215) an optimal number of codes per user (n*) and an optimal power level per user (p*). (Here, the asterisk of the items above denotes a maximum value of the amount on the left of the asterisk.). <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI |
