We propose a coordinated resource allocation(CRA) scheme that can be used to allocate high data-rate users in sectorized cells. This scheme is useful for allocating high data-rate users at cell boundaries. In order to analyze the performance of the proposed scheme, we make an interference model for a sectorized CDMA system and suggest the system load measurement of the forward link. Based on th...
