METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SCHEDULING RESOURCE ALLOCATION TO CONTROL INTER-CELL INTERFERENCE IN A CELLULAR COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, AND BASE STATION THEREOF
First Claim
1. An apparatus for scheduling resource allocation to control inter-cell interference in a cellular communication system, the apparatus comprising:
- a bitmap generator for receiving scheduling information from evolved Node-Bs of a plurality of neighbor cells, and for generating scheduling information including its cell'"'"'s bitmap information for the resource allocation using the received neighbor cells'"'"' scheduling information; and
a scheduler for scheduling the resource allocation for User Equipments (UEs) in its cell based on the scheduling information provided from the bitmap generator and power allocation information of the UEs in its cell.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for controlling inter-cell interference in an evolved Node-B for a cellular communication system with a frequency reuse factor of 1 are provided. The apparatus includes a bitmap generator for receiving scheduling information from evolved Node-Bs of a plurality of neighbor cells, and for generating scheduling information including its cell'"'"'s bitmap information for the resource allocation using the received neighbor cells'"'"' scheduling information, and a scheduler for scheduling the resource allocation for UEs in its cell based on the scheduling information provided from the bitmap generator and power allocation information of the UEs in its cell.
