Abstract

Disclosed is a technology for performing, in an electronic apparatus included in a central station, an uplink- or downlink-related operation by allocating a transmission power intensity based on a transmission and reception capability of a terrestrial terminal.

Claims (32)

1 . A method of performing an uplink-related operation in an electronic apparatus, the method comprising:

receiving data transmission requests from a first terrestrial terminal and a second terrestrial terminal;

identifying a first identification number corresponding to the first terrestrial terminal and a second identification number corresponding to the second terrestrial terminal;

identifying a first transmission capability corresponding to the first terrestrial terminal based on the first identification number and identifying a second transmission capability corresponding to the second terrestrial terminal based on the second identification number; and

comparing the first transmission capability of the first terrestrial terminal and the second transmission capability of the second terrestrial terminal and allocating transmission power intensities to correspond to the first terrestrial terminal and the second terrestrial terminal, respectively,

wherein when the first transmission capability is relatively higher than the second transmission capability, the allocating of the transmission power intensities comprises allocating a relatively high transmission power intensity to the first terrestrial terminal compared to the second terrestrial terminal.

2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

allocating channels used for receiving signals having the allocated transmission power intensities in response to the data transmission requests.

3 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

demodulating a first signal transmitted by the first terrestrial terminal in signals received based on the transmission power intensities corresponding to the first terrestrial terminal and the second terrestrial terminal, and then demodulating a second signal in the received signals in which the first signal is eliminated.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first transmission capability and the second transmission capability are identified from a predetermined database corresponding to a transmission capability of a terrestrial terminal based on the first identification number and the second identification number.

5 . A method of performing a downlink-related operation in an electronic apparatus, the method comprising:

receiving data transmission requests from a first terrestrial terminal and a second terrestrial terminal;

identifying a first identification number corresponding to the first terrestrial terminal and a second identification number corresponding to the second terrestrial terminal;

identifying a first reception capability including a first channel gain corresponding to the first terrestrial terminal based on the first identification number and identifying a second reception capability including a second channel gain corresponding to the second terrestrial terminal based on the second identification number; and

comparing the first reception capability of the first terrestrial terminal and the second reception capability of the second terrestrial terminal and allocating transmission power intensities to correspond to the first terrestrial terminal and the second terrestrial terminal, respectively,

wherein a type of the first terrestrial terminal is identified from the first identification number and the first reception capability is identified from a predetermined database based on the type of the first terrestrial terminal, and

wherein a type of the second terrestrial terminal is identified from the second identification number and the second reception capability is identified from the predetermined database based on the type of the second terrestrial terminal.

6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein when the first reception capability is relatively higher than the second reception capability, the allocating of the transmission power intensities comprises allocating a relatively low transmission power intensity to the first terrestrial terminal compared to the second terrestrial terminal.

7 . The method of claim 6 , further comprising:

overlapping a first signal corresponding to the first terrestrial terminal with a second signal corresponding to the second terrestrial terminal and transmitting an overlapped signal through the downlink, wherein the first signal and the second signal have the allocated transmission power intensities.

8 . An electronic apparatus comprising:

a communication device that receives data transmission requests from a first terrestrial terminal and a second terrestrial terminal;

a memory in which at least one instruction is stored; and

a controller that identifies a first identification number corresponding to the first terrestrial terminal and a second identification number corresponding to the second terrestrial terminal, identify a first transmission capability corresponding to the first terrestrial terminal based on the first identification number, identify a second transmission capability corresponding to the second terrestrial terminal based on the second identification number, compare the first transmission capability of the first terrestrial terminal and the second transmission capability of the second terrestrial terminal, and allocate transmission power intensities to correspond to the first terrestrial terminal and the second terrestrial terminal, respectively,

wherein when the first transmission capability is relatively higher than the second transmission capability, the allocating of the transmission power intensities comprises allocating a relatively high transmission power intensity to the first terrestrial terminal compared to the second terrestrial terminal.

9 . An electronic apparatus comprising:

a communication device that receives data transmission requests from a first terrestrial terminal and a second terrestrial terminal;

a memory in which at least one instruction is stored; and

a controller identifies a first identification number corresponding to the first terrestrial terminal and a second identification number corresponding to the second terrestrial terminal, identify a first reception capability including a first channel gain corresponding to the first terrestrial terminal based on the first identification number, identify a second reception capability including a second channel gain corresponding to the second terrestrial terminal based on the second identification number, compare the first reception capability of the first terrestrial terminal and the second reception capability of the second terrestrial terminal, and allocate transmission power intensities to correspond to the first terrestrial terminal and the second terrestrial terminal, respectively,

wherein a type of the first terrestrial terminal is identified from the first identification number and the first reception capability is identified from a predetermined database based on the type of the first terrestrial terminal, and

wherein a type of the second terrestrial terminal is identified from the second identification number and the second reception capability is identified from the predetermined database based on the type of the second terrestrial terminal.
