Scheduling in consideration of terminal groups in a mobile communication system

Abstract

Specifically, according to one embodiment of the present invention, a method for operating a base station that assigns frequency resources to terminals in a wireless communication system is provided. The method comprises the steps of calculating a first metric using information relating to the transmission rate of each terminal; calculating a second metric using information relating to a proportion of a group to which each of the terminals belongs; determining a terminal to which a frequency resource is assigned on the basis of the calculated first and second metrics; assigning the resource to the determined terminal; and updating the information relating to the transmission rate for each terminal and the information relating to proportion of a group.
