Abstract:
In a satellite and terrestrial integrated communication system in which a satellite communication system and a terrestrial communication system share and use an identical frequency band, an interference to a mobile earth station (MES) of the satellite communication system using an identical frequency by an uplink signal transmitted to a base station of the terrestrial communication system by a user equipment (UE) may be mitigated. When a communication of the MES is requested, a satellite communication apparatus to perform resource block (RB) allocation for a satellite communication in the satellite and terrestrial integrated system may include a controller configured to allocate a first RB to the MES, and a communicator configured to transmit a use notification of the first RB to at least one terrestrial base station located in an interference range of an uplink signal of the MES.
