Method and apparatus for supporting high-speed mobile terminals in a distributed antenna system

A method for supporting terminal communication in a distributed antenna system, the method comprising:

• determining, by a terminal, if a received signal is transmitted from a distributed antenna cell supporting mobility;
• if the received signal is transmitted from the distributed antenna cell supporting the mobility, providing information on a position and a speed of a terminal to a Base Station (BS), wherein the BS determines a service end time point at a serving antenna node and a service start time point at a target antenna node using position and speed information associated with each terminal group;
• receiving information associated with a resource region based on at least one or more of a position and a speed information associated with a terminal group from the BS;
• and
• communicating with the BS using an allocated resource region.

An apparatus for supporting terminal communication in a distributed antenna system, the apparatus comprising a controller configured to:

• identify if the distributed antenna system comprises a distributed antenna cell supporting mobility,
• if the distributed antenna system comprises a distributed cell supporting mobility, provide information on a position and a speed of a terminal to a Base Station (BS), wherein the BS determines a service end time point at a serving antenna node and a service start time point at a target antenna node using position and speed information associated with each terminal group;
• allocate a resource region based on at least one or more of position and speed information associated with a terminal group from the BS, and
• communicate with the BS using the allocated resource region.
