Abstract

The present invention provides a method and device for allocating same resource for a plurality of eNBs of collaborative Multiple-input-Multiple-output (MIMO). Wherein a serving eNB firstly determines, in the one or more other eNBs, at least one candidate eNB recommended to cooperate with the serving eNB, according to measurement report reported by mobile stations or according to report information of the recommended candidate eNB reported by mobile station, then obtains resource related information of the at least one candidate eNB, then determines one or more collaborative eNBs from the at least one candidate eNB according to the resource related information, and allocates corresponding communication resources for the serving eNB and the one or more collaborative eNBs. The solution according to the present does not need to reserve special resource for collaborative MIMO, reduces waste of resource, and meets the requirement of resource for implementing collaborative MIMO by different serving eNBs flexibly, and increases the success rate of implementing collaborative MIMO.
