Abstract:
1. A base station in a wireless communication system, comprising: a scheduler configured to assign uplink transmission scheme to a user equipment (UE) based on channel state of the UE, a distance between the UE and the base station, and the number of UEs assigned the uplink transmission scheme in a cell, the uplink transmission scheme for the UE being one of: an orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) scheme and a single carrier-frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) scheme; a receiver configured to process a signal received from the user equipment; a fast Fourier transform (FFT) processor configured to perform an FFT operation on the received signal to convert the signal into a frequency region signal; a demultiplexer (DEMUX) configured to separate an orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) signal and a single carrier-frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) signal from a signal output from the FFT processor; a channel/interference estimator configured to perform a channel/interference estimation operation on the OFDMA signal and the SC-FDMA signal output from the DEMUX; an OFDMA signal processing unit configured to restore first data by processing the OFDMA signal output from the channel/interference estimator; and an SC-FDMA signal processing unit configured to restore second data by processing the SC-FDMA signal output from the channel/interference estimator, wherein the SC-FDMA signal processing unit comprises a first interference canceller configured to cancel interference of the SC-FDMA signal output from the channel/interference estimator by using the first data output from the OFDMA signal processing unit, and wherein the OFDMA signal processing unit comprises a second interference canceller configured to cancel interference of the OFDMA signal output from the channel/interference estimator by using the second data output from the SC-FDMA signal processing unit.
