Patent ID: 7392054

Claim:
A resource allocation scheduling method for a cellular communication system in which a frequency reuse rate is at least ‘1’, the method comprising the steps of: dividing a frequency band of a system into frames, each of the frames having preferential allocation blocks and general allocation blocks on a time axis; classifying terminals into groups of terminals vulnerable to interference and terminals non-vulnerable to interference; and allocating resources to the terminal groups according to priority orders given to the terminal groups, wherein the step of allocating resources further includes determining if the terminals vulnerable to interference exist; allocating the resources of the preferential allocation blocks to the terminals vulnerable to interference, if the terminals vulnerable to interference exist; determining if the resources of the preferential allocation blocks remain; allocating the remaining resources of the preferential allocation blocks to the terminals non-vulnerable to interference, if the resources of the preferential allocation blocks remain; and allocating the resources of the general allocation blocks to the terminals non-vulnerable to interference, if the resources of the preferential allocation blocks do not remain.
