Abstract:
A cell capacity enhancement method and apparatus through optical signal combining between RSs(Relay Stations) in a cellular system using wireline RSs are provided to increase the overall cell transmission capacity by improving QoS(Quality of Service). A BS(Base Station) receives a signal of an MS(Mobile Station) from each RS and the MS and transmits data to each RS and the MS. A plurality of RSs transfer information of MSs of a corresponding coverage to the BS and allocate resources to a corresponding MS. A plurality of MSs are allocated resources by the MS and the respective RS and perform updating. The BS collectively perform resource allocation and scheduling upon receiving feedback an average C/I(Carrier-to-Interference ratio) of the MS from the respective RS and the MS. The RS transfers relevant information of the MS of the corresponding coverage to the BS, independently perform scheduling on packets to be transferred to the corresponding MS, and performs resource allocation from the BS to the corresponding MS.
