ABSTRACT:
A downlink channel scheduling method and apparatus for obtaining optimal system performance in a downlink of a wireless communication system using an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) scheme are provided. Terminals compute a plurality of channel capacities and search for a channel with a maximum capacity. The terminals send, to a base station (BS), feedback information including a channel number and a capacity value of the channel with the maximum capacity. The BS performs a first channel allocation process for allocating a channel with an optimal capacity to each terminal on the basis of the feedback information. The BS performs a second channel allocation process for allocating an adjacent channel to a corresponding terminal using the window bit when the terminal is not allocated a channel in the first channel allocation process.
