Abstract
The present invention relates to an apparatus and to a method for acquiring downlink channel information in a radio communication system having a multi-cell/sector structure, comprising receiving channel quality information of a mobile station and loading information of cells/sectors adjacent to the mobile station, checking the carrier to interference and noise ratio (CINR) contained in the channel quality information, checking the average loading factor of the adjacent cells/sectors contained in the loading information, summing the average loading factors for each of the adjacent cells/sectors to calculate an effective loading factor, and compensating for the CINR with the effective loading factor to acquire channel information of the base station.
