CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application is a 371 National Stage of International Application No. PCT/KR2019/000006, filed Jan. 2, 2019, which claims priority to Korean Patent Application No. 10-2018-0000902, filed Jan. 3, 2018, the disclosures of which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety.

BACKGROUND

1. Field

The present disclosure relates to a base station for processing a plurality of cells and an operation method of the base station in a wireless communication system.

2. Description of Related Art

To meet ever-increasing demand with respect to wireless data traffic, a Long Term Evolution-Advanced (LTE-A) system after an LTE system has been commercialized. As wireless communication systems thereafter, an LTE-A Pro, 5th-Generation (5G), or new radio (NR) system is to be commercialized.

With the development of a wireless communication system, various techniques have been introduced to process increasing wireless data traffic. In applying the newly introduced techniques, the complexity of signal processing in a wireless communication system increases, increasing the complexity of hardware implementation for supporting signal processing. As the complexity of hardware implementation increases, costs for implementing hardware may also increase.

A method and apparatus for efficiently processing wireless data traffic in a wireless communication system is needed.

SUMMARY

According to an embodiment, an operation method of a base station which processes a plurality of cells includes pooling a processing power of a first processor that processes a signal of a first cell and a processing power of a second processor that processes a signal of a second cell, and distributing the processing powers to the first processor and the second processor and processing, by the first processor and the second processor, the signal of the first cell and the signal of the second cell by using the distributed processing powers.

According to an embodiment, a base station which processes a plurality of cells includes a first processor configured to process a signal of a first cell, a second processor configured to process a signal of a second cell, and a pooling processor configured to distribute processing powers to the first processor and the second processor by pooling the processing powers of the first processor and the second processor, in which the first processor and the second processor process the signal of the first cell and the signal of the second cell by using the processing powers distributed under control of the pooling processor.

According to an embodiment, a computer program product including a recording medium has stored therein a program for executing an operation method of a base station that processes a plurality of cells.

According to an embodiment, wireless data traffic may be efficiently processed.
