Intra-cell common reuse for a wireless communication system

A method for transmitting data in a wireless communication system, comprising:

• using a controller for obtaining an assignment of system resources for a terminal, the system resources assigned to the terminal being selected from both a first set and a common set based at least on channel condition for the terminal and a group of a plurality of groups to which the terminal is classified into based on the channel condition for the terminal, the first set formed of first set system resources and the common set formed of common set system resources, wherein the first set system resources and common set system resources are mutually exclusive and are static;
• the first set including system resources allocable to terminals in a first sector of a cell, and the common set including system resources with reduced interference from the first sector and at least one other sector in the cell;
• and
• generating a control indicative of the system resources assigned to the terminal.

An apparatus for assigning system resources in a wireless communication system, comprising:

• a controller for determining channel condition for a terminal;
• and
• a scheduler for assigning the terminal with system resources from both a first set and a common set based at least on the channel condition for the terminal and a group of a plurality of groups to which the terminal is classified into based on the channel condition for the terminal,
• the first set formed of first set system resources and the common set formed of common set system resources, wherein the first set system resources and common set system resources are mutually exclusive and are static;
• and
• the first set including system resources allocable to terminals in a first sector of a cell, and the common set including available system resources with reduced interference from the first sector and at least one other sector in the cell.
