BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Technical Field


The present invention relates to a radio resource allocation apparatus and method using an interference indicator in a femto-cell network, and more particularly, to a radio resource allocation apparatus and method using an interference indicator in a femto-cell network capable of allocating radio resources in carrier modes differently determined depending on interference indicators of base stations.


2. Description of the Related Art


Recently, the use of a femto-cell base station in wireless communication of a terminal has increased. The femto-cell base station has a small connection range, but may be installed at a distance close to the terminal and has service quality more excellent than a macro-cell base station due to the distance close to the terminal. Therefore, the femto-cell base station has been widely used in order to operate and provide public services such as public safety, air line and harbor, traffic, railroad, and the like.


Generally, in the case in which a subscriber's user terminal enters the femto-cell base station, a handover from the macro-cell base station to the femto-cell base station is made, such that an interference problem does not occur. However, in the case in which a non-subscriber's user terminal enters the femto-cell base station, the non-subscriber's user terminal still communicates with the macro-cell base station to interfere in communication of a neighboring subscriber's user terminal, thereby deteriorating service quality.


Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2010-0099605, which relates to a method for reducing interference between a home-eNB and a macro-eNB using MAC scheduling and a mobile telecommunication system for the same, has introduced a technology of using the MAC scheduling in order to reduce the interference between the home-eNB and the macro-eNB that are operated in the same band.


In addition, Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2010-0021076, which relates to an apparatus and a method for offset frame construction and transmission to reduce co-channel interference in a mobile communication system, has introduced a technology of using some of common channels operated in different bands in order to reduce interference between interference channels of a broadcasting channel and a control channel that are operated in the same band.


However, the radio resource allocation technologies according to the related art as described above do not specifically disclose and imply a technology of allocating radio resources in any one of a dedicated carrier mode, a partially shared carrier mode, and a shared carrier mode that are differently determined depending on interference indicators of base stations, but have introduced only a configuration of varying MAC scheduling or temporarily changing a band with respect to a plurality of base stations operated in the same band.


Therefore, a new radio resource allocation technology of enabling radio resource allocation minimizing an influence of a non-subscriber's user terminal by allocating radio resources in any one of a dedicated carrier mode, a partially shared carrier mode, and a shared carrier mode that are differently determined depending on interference indicators of base stations and preferentially allocating the radio resources to a base station sensitive to a delay and interference in the dedicated carrier mode in order to decrease interference between a plurality of base stations operated in the same band has been urgently demanded.
