Abstract
A frequency block allocation apparatus based on a single carrier frequency division multiple access method includes an allocation index computation target selector that selects frequency block groups, each consisting of one or more continuous non-allocated frequency blocks from a set of non-allocated frequency blocks; an allocation index computation unit that computes an allocation index for each target pair of each frequency block group and a terminal; and a frequency block allocation unit that determines one of the target pairs to be a frequency block allocation target, in accordance with priority based on the computed allocation indexes.
