Abstract

The present description relates to a method in which a base station clusters cooperative terminals so as to enable cooperative data transmission among terminals. The clustering method comprises the following steps: identifying terminals which can transmit data of an opponent terminal; generating a cooperative cluster containing the identified terminals; transmitting information on the cooperative cluster to the terminals which belongs to the cooperative cluster; and receiving data of a second terminal from a first terminal, which are terminals belonging to the cooperative cluster.
