Communication device and scheduling method

Abstract

A communication device includes a memory configured to store and associate a transmission power value of a signal and an error vector magnitude (EVM) power value which is a power value of noise corresponding to EVM; and a processor coupled with the memory, and configured to acquire the EVM power value corresponding to the transmission power value of the signal destined for a terminal group of a scheduling target from the memory and perform, by using the acquired EVM power value, a scheduler process of deciding a terminal combination which is a power allocation target and an allocation power value of each terminal of the decided terminal combination from a plurality of terminal combinations in the terminal group of the scheduling target, wherein the communication device is configured to be applied with a non-orthogonal multiple access scheme.
