Method and apparatus for selecting user terminal in mobile communication system
First Claim
1. A method by a central unit controlling at least two base stations in a mobile communication system, the method comprising:
- receiving channel state information (CSI) of a plurality of user equipments (UEs) from a plurality of base stations;
selecting a first UE in a cell of a plurality of cells of the plurality of base stations, wherein the first UE comprises a maximum weight rate (WR) among the plurality of UEs;
selecting a second UE that maximizes a weighted sum rate (WSR) of a plurality of UEs belonging to cells different from a cell containing the first UE; and
transmitting scheduling information to each of the plurality of base stations based on the selection of the first UE and the second UE.

Abstract
Provided are a method and apparatus for user equipment (UE) selection in a mobile communication system. The method may include: selecting the n−1th UE in multiple cells (n: constant ≧2); and selecting a UE with the maximum weighted sum rate (WSR) as the nth UE from among UEs belonging to the remaining cells excluding those cells containing the 1st to n−1th UEs. Hence, the scheduling function enabling suitable user equipment selection may further increase overall system throughput by providing additional gains in addition to beamforming, i.e. further reducing inter-cell interference and increasing signal strength toward a desired user equipment.
