A method for allocating fractional frequency reuse (FER) resources to perform cooperative MIMO in a multi-cell environment is disclosed. A cell which requests FER resources decides a band for cooperative MIMO with its neighboring cell, and requests the neighboring cell to allocate the decided band for cooperative MIMO. A cell which receives FER resource request receives a request from a neighboring cell to allocate some or all of FER bands allocated to the neighboring cell as a band for cooperative MIMO, decides whether to grant the request, and allocates some or all of the requested FER bands as the band for cooperative MIMO with the neighboring cell if the request is granted.

Handoff is conventionally carried out in accordance with radio reception statuses such as C/I, so that handoff to a congested station can be made, resulting in a decrease in throughput. When an access terminal is handed off, requested-data-rate information based on a data rate control signal from each access terminal, average throughput of each access terminal before handoff, and a handoff request count are obtained from a base transceiver subsystem. A throughput after handoff of each access terminal is estimated from a ratio of the data rate information of each access terminal to the number of connected access terminals, and an estimated throughput ratio representing the degree of change from the average throughput of each access terminal before handoff to the estimated throughput is calculated. If the estimated throughput ratio is lower than or equal to a given value, the corresponding access terminal is not handed off. If the estimated throughput ratio is higher than the given value, the access terminal having the highest estimated throughput among access terminals requesting handoff is handed off.

A signal pair interference power ratio of the received signal at a user terminal is obtained and this ratio is then compared with the signal pair interference power ratio required for correct demodulation.
