Claim Text:
1. An apparatus for allocating resources in a communication system, comprising: a reception unit configured to receive terminal information from a terminal, when the terminal initially accesses the communication system in order to receive communication service through satellite communication and terrestrial communication; a determination unit configured to check bandwidth information for providing the communication service to the terminal, the terminal information, satellite information for performing the satellite communication with the terminal, and base station information for performing the terrestrial communication with the terminal, and configured to determine a size of a resource block group to be allocated to the terminal, based on the bandwidth information, the terminal information, the satellite information, and the base station information; and an allocation unit configured to allocate resource blocks corresponding to the size of the resource block group to the terminal in order to transmit and receive data packets of the communication service to and from the terminal, wherein the terminal information includes type information of the terminal, transmission power information of the terminal, and antenna gain information of the terminal, wherein the type information includes using method information of the terminal, communication method information of the terminal, and type information of the communication service, wherein the determination unit checks an available bandwidth for transmitting and receiving the data packets to and from the terminal, based on the bandwidth information, wherein if a number of the resource blocks of the available bandwidth is 10 or less, the determination unit determines one resource block as the size of the resource block group, if a number of the resource blocks of the available bandwidth is more than 10 but 26 or less, the determination unit determines two resource blocks as the size of the resource block group, if the number of the resource blocks of the available bandwidth is more than 26 but 63 or less, determination unit determines three resource blocks as the size of the resource block group, and if the number of the resource blocks of the available bandwidth is more than 63, the determination unit determines four resource blocks as the size of the resource block group.
