Abstract:
An opportunistic packet scheduling apparatus and method in consideration of the re-use of radio resources and QoS(Quality of Service) in a broadband wireless communication system using multi-hop relay are provided to install and operate a system effectively by increasing the number of accommodated users while guaranteeing QoS in a single BS(Base Station). A current radio resource efficiency calculating unit(300) collects channel information reported by a user terminal and a repeater by each user terminal path, initializes the size of resource allocation, and determines whether to re-use resources of each path by comparing the sizes of resource allocations of each user terminal path. A QoS parameter calculating unit(306) calculates a parameter for satisfying a current radio resource efficiency and QoS requirements of each user terminal path reflecting whether to re-use resources. A scheduling priority index calculating unit(304) calculates a scheduling priority index of each user terminal by using the current radio resource efficiency and the QoS parameter.
Abstract:
An apparatus and a method for selecting a relay mode in a broadband wireless communication system using multi-hop relay are provided to improve a production yield and an outage performance of a system by using a proper relay mode according to a terminal distribution or a channel state. A base station requests channel state information with relay stations from a terminal(501), and checks whether a signal is received from the terminal(503). The base station checks channel state information between the relay stations and the terminal included in a reception signal(505). The base station estimates an interference strength and a signal strength by using the channel state information(507). The base station estimates CINRs(Carrier to Interference and Noise Ratios) of a simple relay mode and a cooperative relay mode(509), and determines a relay mode to provide a relay service by using the CINRs(511). The base station transmits resource allocation information including the relay mode to the relay stations and the terminal(513), and transmits data to the relay stations or the terminal according to the resource allocation information(515).
Abstract:
A device for allocating resources to relay stations in a relay-type wireless communication system and a method therefore are provided to determine resource reuse patterns by using interference information measured in each relay station, thereby enabling efficient resource operation even when the relay stations are irregularly disposed. N relay stations measure mutual interference by exchanging beacon signals with other relay stations within a cell, and feed back the measured interference information to base stations. The base stations allocate resources for the N relay stations, so that the N relay stations reuse the resources by using the interference information fed back from each of the N relay stations. When at least one of the relay stations transmits the beacon signals by using uplink sounding channels, the rest of the relay stations receive the beacon signals.

Abstract:
An opportunistic packet scheduling apparatus and method in consideration of re-use of radio resources in a broadband wireless communication system using multi-hop relay are provided to improve the balance of distribution of radio resource. A current radio resource efficiency calculating unit(500) initializes the size of a maximum resource allocation in a resource re-use group and the size of resource allocation of each terminal of the resource re-use group by hop by using channel information reported by a user terminal and a repeater according to each terminal path, and calculates the efficiency of current radio resources of a corresponding user terminal path by reflecting whether or not resources used by a different BS(Base Station) or repeater within the resource re-use group. A scheduling priority index calculating unit(502) calculates a scheduling priority index at a ratio of an average radio resource efficiency of each user terminal and the efficiency of the current radio resources. A maximum priority index user selecting unit(504) selects a user terminal with the largest scheduling priority index, and performs scheduling on the selected user terminal.

Abstract:
An apparatus and a method for distributing radio resources in a multi-hop relay broadband wireless access communication system are provided to increase the transmission efficiency without a waste of resources of an overall system by evenly distributing radio resources to relay stations that re-use frequency resources by using two types of schedulers. A priority level of each transmission packet is determined so that channels can be evenly allocated to relay stations that use the same radio resources by using an inter-scheduling and intra-scheduling. The number of sub-channels required for transmitting packets is determined according to each priority level, and a temporary frame is generated to determine the number of sub-channels to be allocated to the relay stations that use the same radio resources. Packets included in the generated temporary frame are divided by link and allocated by sub-channel.
