Method and apparatus for cooperative scheduling in a mobile communication system

Abstract

The disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5th-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4th-Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT). The disclosure applies to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. A method performed by a network-side control node in mobile communication system is provided. The method includes acquiring information related to cooperative scheduling corresponding to a base station, determining configuration information for cooperative scheduling on traffics in overlapped beam coverage areas associated with a plurality of base stations including the base station, based on the information related to cooperative scheduling, and transmitting, to the base station, the configuration information.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
