Method and device for inter-cluster cooperative communication in mobile communication system

A base station operating method for inter-cluster cooperative communication in a mobile communication system, comprising:

• providing channel information to a central unit;
• receiving blank pattern data of a serving sector and neighboring sectors in a neighboring cluster, from the central unit;
• and
• performing scheduling based on the blank pattern data of the serving sector and sectors in the neighboring cluster,
• wherein the scheduling is determined by considering a total target function change magnitude of the neighboring sectors in the neighboring clusters affecting the serving sector.
