Abstract

The disclosure relates to a pre-5 th -Generation (5G) or 5G communication system to be provided for supporting higher data rates Beyond 4 th -Generation (4G) communication system, such as Long Term Evolution (LTE). A power distribution apparatus in a wireless communication system is provided. The apparatus includes at least one transceiver, and at least one processor, wherein the at least one processor is configured to identify a cell group set for a particular transmission interval among multiple cell groups connected to a terminal, perform a distribution of a power for the terminal to each of cell groups in the cell group set, and transmit power allocation information according to a result of the distribution to the terminal, wherein the cell group set includes a cell group including one or more cells in which uplink transmission is to be performed at the particular transmission interval.

Claims (35)

1. A power distribution method performed by a base station, in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

determining an operation period including one or more transmission time intervals (TTIs);

identifying one or more first cells, in which uplink transmission is to be performed within the operation period, among a first cell group of multiple cell groups configured to a terminal;

identifying one or more second cells, in which uplink transmission is to be performed within the operation period, among a second cell group of the multiple cell groups configured to the terminal;

performing a power distribution of the multiple cell groups; and

transmitting, to the terminal, uplink resource allocation information according to a result of the power distribution,

wherein the one or more first cells are identified by the base station and the one or more second cells are identified by exchanging cell group information with another base station,

wherein the performing of the power distribution comprises:

allocating, preferentially, power to the first cell group including the identified one or more first cells and the second cell group including the identified one or more second cells; and

allocating, remaining power to the multiple cell groups excluding the first cell group and the second cell group,

wherein the uplink transmission of the one or more first cells and the uplink transmission of the one or more second cells comprises physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) transmission or physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission, and a cell group performing physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) transmission has a higher priority than a cell group performing physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission between the first cell group and the second cell group, and

wherein priorities among the multiple cell groups excluding the first cell group and the second cell group are determined based on a priority of each cell included in the multiple cell groups excluding the first cell group and the second cell group, and the priority of each cell is determined based on at least one of a type of information, a channel quality or a type of communication service.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the allocating of the power to the first cell group and the second cell group is performed based on a timing advance of each cell in the identified one or more first cells and the identified one or more second cells.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein a distribution power ratio between the first cell group and the second cell group is determined based on a number of the identified one or more first cells and a number of the identified one or more second cells.

4. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein a distribution power ratio between the first cell group and the second cell group is determined based on an uplink data size of the first cell group and an uplink data size of the second cell group.

5. A power distribution apparatus of a base station in a wireless communication system, the power distribution apparatus comprising:

at least one transceiver; and

at least one processor,

wherein the at least one processor is configured to:

determine an operation period including one or more transmission time intervals (TTIs),

identify one or more first cells, in which uplink transmission is to be performed within the operation period, among a first cell group of multiple cell groups configured to a terminal,

identify one or more second cells, in which uplink transmission is to be performed within the operation period, among a second cell group of the multiple cell groups configured to the terminal,

perform a power distribution of the multiple cell groups, and

control the at least one transceiver to transmit, to the terminal, uplink resource allocation information according to a result of the power distribution,

wherein the one or more first cells are identified by the base station and the one or more second cells are identified by exchanging cell group information with another base station,

wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

allocate, preferentially, power to the first cell group including the identified one or more first cells and the second cell group including the identified one or more second cells, and

allocate, remaining power to the multiple cell groups excluding the first cell group and the second cell group,

wherein the uplink transmission of the one or more first cells and the uplink transmission of the one or more second cells comprises physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) transmission or physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission, and a cell group performing physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) transmission has a higher priority than a cell group performing physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) transmission between the first cell group and the second cell group, and

wherein priorities among the multiple cell groups excluding the first cell group and the second cell group are determined based on a priority of each cell included in the multiple cell groups excluding the first cell group and the second cell group, and the priority of each cell is determined based on at least one of a type of information, a channel quality or a type of communication service.

6. The power distribution apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to allocate of the power to the first cell group and the second cell group based on a timing advance of each cell in the identified one or more first cells and the identified one or more second cells.

7. The power distribution apparatus of claim 5 , wherein a distribution power ratio between the first cell group and the second cell group is determined based on a number of the identified one or more first cells and a number of the identified one or more second cells.

8. The power distribution apparatus of claim 5 ,

wherein a distribution power ratio between the first cell group and the second cell group is determined based on an uplink data size of the first cell group and an uplink data size of the second cell group.
