Apparatus and method for resource allocation using mobile base station

A mobile base station comprising:

• a communication device;
• a memory configured to store at least one instruction;
• and
• a processor configured to execute the at least one instruction to detect at least one sensor within a communicable range of the mobile base station, estimate a communication possibility of the sensor based on a message queue and a remaining battery level of the at least one sensor, and allocate a resource allocated from a macro base station to the sensor based on the communication possibility,
• wherein the estimating the communication possibility of the sensor based on the message queue and the remaining battery level of the at least one sensor includes:
• estimating the communication possibility of the sensor based on whether a packet exists in the message queue and whether the remaining battery level is equal to or greater than a reference value required for transmission of the packet.

A non-transitory computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

• detecting at least one sensor within a communicable range of a mobile base station;
• estimating a communication possibility of the sensor based on a message queue and a remaining battery level of the at least one sensor;
• receiving resource allocation from a macro base station based on the communication possibility;
• and
• allocating the allocated resource to the sensor,
• wherein the estimating the communication possibility of the sensor based on the message queue and the remaining battery level of the at least one sensor includes:
• estimating the communication possibility of the sensor based on whether a packet exists in the message queue and whether the remaining battery level is equal to or greater than a reference value required for transmission of the packet.
