Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a communication technique of fusing a 5G communication system for supporting higher data transmission rate beyond a 4G system with an IoT technology and a system thereof. The present disclosure may be used for an intelligent service (for example, smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car or connected car, health care, digital education, retail business, security and safety related service, or the like) based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT related technology. A method of a first base station in a wireless communication system and the first base station are provided. The method includes identifying interference region information; receiving beam index information and resource allocating information from a second base station; and allocating a resource to a terminal based on the interference region information, the beam index information, and the resource allocation information. The first base station includes a transceiver; and a controller configured to identify interference region information, receive beam index information and resource allocation information from a second base station, and allocate a resource to a terminal based on the interference region information, the beam index information, and the resource allocation information.

Claims (28)

1. A method of a first base station in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

identifying interference related information including information indicating whether interference is over a threshold for each beam pair of the first base station and a second base station;

receiving, from the second base station, resource allocation information of the second base station and beam index information of the second base station, the beam index information being for transmitting a signal to a second terminal associated with the second base station;

identifying whether a first terminal associated with the first base station is located in an interference region in which interference between the first terminal and the second terminal is over the threshold, based on beam index information of the first base station, the beam index information of the second base station, and the interference related information;

identifying, based on the resource allocation information of the second base station, a first resource excluding a second resource that is allocated to the second terminal; and

allocating, to the first terminal, the first resource excluding the second resource in case that the first terminal is located in the interference region.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising allocating a third resource including the second resource in case that the first terminal is not located in the interference region.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein identifying the interference related information comprises:

receiving, from terminals, interference information including an interference strength;

receiving, from neighboring base stations, beam index information; and

identifying the interference related information based on the interference information received from the terminals and the beam index information of the neighboring base stations.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein allocating the first resource further comprises allocating, to the first terminal, a resource of a fixed region, in case that the first terminal is located in the interference region.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein allocating, to the first terminal, the first resource further comprises allocating a preferentially available frequency resource, in case that the first terminal is located in the interference region.

6. A first base station in a wireless communication system, the first base station comprising:

a transceiver; and

a controller configured to:

identify interference related information including information indicating whether interference is over a threshold for each beam pair of the first base station and a second base station,

receive, via the transceiver from the second base station, resource allocation information of the second base station and beam index information of the second base station, the beam index information being for transmitting a signal to a second terminal associated with the second base station,

identify whether a first terminal associated with the first base station is located in an interference region in which interference between the first terminal and the second terminal is over the threshold, based on beam index information of the first base station, the beam index information of the second base station, and the interference related information,

identify, based on the resource allocation information of the second base station, a first resource excluding a second resource that is allocated to the second terminal, and

allocate, to the first terminal, the first resource excluding the second resource in case that the first terminal is located in the interference region.

7. The first base station of claim 6 , wherein the controller is further configured to allocate a third resource including the second resource in case that the first terminal is not located in the interference region.

8. The first base station of claim 6 , wherein the controller is further configured to:

receive, from terminals, interference information,

receive, from neighboring base stations, beam index information, and

identify the interference related information based on the interference information received from the terminals and the beam index information of the neighboring base stations.

9. The first base station of claim 6 , wherein the controller is further configured to allocate, to the first terminal, a resource of a fixed region in case that the first terminal is located in the interference region.

10. The first base station of claim 6 , wherein the controller is further configured to allocate, to the first terminal, a preferentially available frequency resource in case that the first terminal is located in the interference region.
