A subcarrier assignment apparatus and a subcarrier assignment method, in which each of a plurality of Base Stations (BSs) constituting an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) communication system provides services in the capacity of a serving BS to Mobile Stations (MSs). Channel quality information for the respective MSs are fed-back from the respective BSs. Subcarriers are assigned to the respective MSs according to a corresponding scheduling scheme in consideration of the channel quality information for the respective MSs, which are fed-back from the respective BSs, and then BSs which manage the subcarriers assigned to the respective MSs according to the corresponding scheduling scheme are selected. These operations provide site diversity to each of the MSs, and thus system capacity is maximized.
A method for assigning subcarrier in an orthogonal frequency division multiple access communication system, the method comprising the steps of:
A apparatus for assigning subcarrier in an orthogonal frequency division multiple access communication system, comprising schedulers for assigning subcarriers to each of mobile stations, to which each of a plurality of base stations constituting the orthogonal frequency division multiple access communication system provides services in the capacity of a serving base station, according to a corresponding scheduling scheme in consideration of channel quality information for the respective mobile stations, which are fed-back from the respective base stations, and selecting base stations which manage the subcarriers assigned to the respective mobile stations according to the corresponding scheduling scheme.
