Abstract

A scheduling technique for limiting a discontinuous spectrum to reduce control information to be transmitted from a base station (BS) to each of mobile stations. The method has a ranking means for ranking the mobile stations for each resource block depending on the channel status, and an allocation means for allocating the resource blocks to the mobile stations depending on the ranking of the mobile stations so that the number of resource blocks in a resource block group for one mobile station may be not more than a set number. The resource block group including at least one or more continuous resource blocks on the frequency axis.

Claims (48)

1. A wireless communication system, comprising:

a ranking unit for ranking a mobile station for each resource block, based on a channel condition; and

an allocator for allocating an uplink resource block to said mobile station based on the ranking of said mobile station in such a way that a number of resource block groups, in which more than one uplink resource blocks are serially arranged on a frequency axis, per mobile station is set to less than a set value,

wherein the number of the resource block groups per said mobile station is limited,

wherein said allocator decides an uplink resource block to be allocated to a mobile station for each uplink resource block according to the ranking of said mobile station, and

wherein in the allocating the uplink resource block to said mobile station, when the number of resource block groups already allocated to the mobile station exceeds said set value, said allocator generates a resource block group, including the uplink resource block and adjacent uplink resource blocks.

2. A wireless communication system, comprising:

a ranking unit for ranking a mobile station for each resource block, based on a channel condition; and

an allocator for allocating an uplink resource block to said mobile station based on the ranking of said mobile station in such a way that a number of resource block groups, in which more than one uplink resource blocks are serially arranged on a frequency axis, per mobile station is set to less than a set value,

wherein the number of the resource block groups per said mobile station is limited,

wherein said allocator decides an uplink resource block to be allocated to a mobile station for each uplink resource block according to the ranking of said mobile station, and

wherein in the allocating the uplink resource block to said mobile station, when the number of resource block groups already allocated to said mobile station exceeds said set value, said allocator allocates the uplink resource block to a mobile station to which an adjacent resource block is allocated or has been allocated, to generate a resource block group.

3. A wireless communication system, comprising:

a ranking unit for ranking a mobile station for each resource block, based on a channel condition; and

an allocator for allocating an uplink resource block to said mobile station based on the ranking of said mobile station in such a way that a number of resource block groups, in which more than one uplink resource blocks are serially arranged on a frequency axis, per mobile station is set to less than a set value,

wherein the number of the resource block groups per said mobile station is limited,

wherein said allocator decides an u link resource block to be allocated to a mobile station for each uplink resource block according to the ranking of said mobile station, and

wherein, in the allocating the uplink resource block to said mobile station, when the number of resource block groups already allocated to said mobile station exceeds said set value, said allocator allocates an uplink resource block to a lower order mobile station to generate a resource block group.

4. A base station, comprising:

a ranking unit for ranking mobile stations for each uplink resource block, based on a channel state; and

an allocator for allocating an uplink resource block to a mobile station based on said mobile station ranking in a such a way that a number of resource block groups, including more than one uplink resource blocks continuously formed on a frequency axis, to a single mobile station is set to less than a set value,

wherein the number of the resource block groups of said single mobile station is limited,

wherein said allocator decides an uplink resource block to be allocated to a mobile station for each uplink resource block according to said mobile station ranking, and

wherein, in the allocating the uplink resource block to said mobile station, when the number of resource block groups already allocated to the mobile station exceeds said set value, said allocator generates a resource block group, including the uplink resource block and adjacent uplink resource blocks.

5. A base station, comprising:

a ranking unit for ranking mobile stations for each uplink resource block, based on a channel state; and

an allocator for allocating an uplink resource block to a mobile station based on said mobile station ranking in a such a way that a number of resource block groups, including more than one uplink resource blocks continuously formed on a frequency axis, to a single mobile station is set to less than a set value,

wherein the number of the resource block groups of said single mobile station is limited,

wherein said allocator decides an uplink resource block to be allocated to a mobile station for each uplink resource block according to said mobile station ranking, and

wherein, in the allocating the uplink resource block to said mobile station, when the number of resource block groups to which has already allocated to the mobile station exceeds said set value, said allocator allocates the uplink resource block to a mobile station to which an adjacent uplink resource block is allocated or has been already allocated, to generate a resource block group.

6. A base station, comprising:

a ranking unit for ranking mobile stations for each uplink resource block, based on a channel state; and

an allocator for allocating an uplink resource block to a mobile station based on said mobile station ranking in a such a way that a number of resource block groups, including more than one uplink resource blocks continuously formed on a frequency axis, to a single mobile station is set to less than a set value,

wherein the number of the resource block groups of said single mobile station is limited,

wherein said allocator decides an uplink resource block to be allocated to a mobile station for each uplink resource block according to said mobile station ranking, and

wherein in the allocating the uplink resource block to said mobile station, when the number of resource block groups already allocated to the mobile station exceeds said set value, said allocator allocates a resource block to a lower order mobile station of said mobile stations, to generate a resource block group.

7. A resource block allocation method, comprising:

allocating an uplink resource block to a mobile station based on information ranking mobile stations for each uplink resource block according to a channel state in such a way that a number of resource block groups, including more than one uplink resource blocks continuously formed on a frequency axis, to a single mobile station is less than a set value, wherein the number of the resource block groups of said single mobile station is limited;

deciding a resource block to be allocated to a mobile station for each uplink resource block according information ranking said mobile station; and

in the allocating the uplink resource block to said mobile station, generating a resource block group, including the uplink resource block and adjacent uplink resource blocks, when the number of resource block groups already allocated to the mobile station exceeds said set value.

8. A resource block allocation method comprising

allocating an uplink resource block to a mobile station based on information ranking mobile stations for each uplink resource block according to a channel state in such a way that a number of resource block groups, including more than one uplink resource blocks continuously formed on a frequency axis, to a single mobile station is less than a set value, wherein the number of the resource block groups of said single mobile station is limited;

deciding a resource block to be allocated to a mobile station for each uplink resource block according information ranking said mobile station; and

in the allocating the uplink resource block to said mobile station, when the number of resource block groups already allocated to the mobile station exceeds said set value, generating a resource block group by allocating the resource block to a mobile station to which an adjacent resource block is allocated or has been allocated.
