Resource allocation method and base station
A resource allocation method and base station. The resource allocation method comprises: within a current scheduling period, determining priorities of users in a cell for sub-carriers in available frequency resources, and among the available frequency resources of the cell, allocating a corresponding available frequency resource for each user in the cell according to the priorities of all users for the sub-carriers, so that the frequency resources that can be used by the edge users cover all available frequency ranges of the cell. Therefore, when frequency selectivity fading occurs in the channel, a decline in communication quality caused by allocating carrier resources for the edge users in the limited frequency resources is avoided, the probability that the edge users use deeply fading frequency resources is reduced, and interruption in the communication process is decreased, thereby improving system throughput.

determining, by the one or more processors, for each of a plurality of users, a priority for each one of the one or more subcarrier frequency resources during a current scheduling period;
determining, by the one or more processors, for each user, whether the user is a center user, and for each center user, lowering the priority of the center user with respect to the at least one primary subcarrier frequency band;
determining a service grade QoS for each user; and
for each user, obtaining a preset priority adjustment coefficient corresponding to the determined QoS, and adjusting each priority for each one of the one or more subcarrier frequency resources of the user using the obtained preset priority adjustment coefficient;
determining, by the one or more processors, unallocated subcarrier frequency resources in the one or more subcarrier frequency resources; and
for each unallocated subcarrier frequency resource, sequentially executing, by the one or more processors:
determining a highest priority user with respect to the unallocated subcarrier frequency resource; and
when the highest priority user has not been allocated with sufficient carrier resources, allocating the unallocated subcarrier frequency resource to the highest priority user, otherwise allocating the unallocated subcarrier frequency resource to next highest priority user who has not been allocated with sufficient carrier resources.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the primary subcarrier frequency bands divided between neighbor cells are mutually orthogonal.
3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein determining whether the user is a center user further comprises:
receiving an estimated value of the receiving power for the dedicated reference signal of the present cell from the user; and
determining the received estimated value of receiving power for the dedicated reference signal of the present cell is greater than a preset threshold value of reference signal power.
4. The method according to claim 2 , wherein determining whether the user is a center user further comprises:
receiving a set of ratios of a path loss of the present cell to path losses of all neighboring cells from the user; and
determining the set of ratios comprises one or more ratios greater than a set threshold value.
5. A base station, characterized in that the base station comprises:
one or more processors; and
one or more computer-readable storage medium storing instructions, which when executed by the one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to:
determine available frequency resources within a present cell wherein the available frequency resources comprise one or more subcarrier frequency resources;
divide the one or more subcarrier frequency resources into at least one primary subcarrier frequency band and at least one auxiliary subcarrier frequency band, wherein transmission power of each primary subcarrier frequency band is higher than transmission power of each auxiliary subcarrier frequency band;
determine for each of a plurality of users, a priority for each one of the one or more subcarrier frequencies during a current scheduling period;
determine, for each user, whether the user is a center user, and for each center user, lowering the priority of the center user with respect to the at least one primary subcarrier frequency band;
determine a service grade QoS for each user; and
for each user, obtain a preset priority adjustment coefficient corresponding to the determined QoS, and adjust each priority for each one of the one or more subcarrier frequency resources of the user using the obtained preset priority adjustment coefficient;
determining unallocated subcarrier frequency resources in the one or more subcarrier frequency resources; and
for each unallocated subcarrier frequency resource, sequentially execute the following operations:
determine a highest priority user with respect with respect to the unallocated subcarrier frequency resource; and
when the highest priority user has not been allocated with sufficient carrier resources, allocate the unallocated subcarrier frequency resource to the highest priority user, otherwise allocate the unallocated subcarrier frequency resource to the next highest priority user who has not been allocated with sufficient resources.
6. The base station according to claim 5 , wherein the primary subcarrier frequency bands divided between neighbor cells are mutually orthogonal.
7. The base station according to claim 6 , wherein the instructions for determining whether the user is a center user further cause the one or more processors to:
