VERFAHREN UND SYSTEM ZUR KANALVERGABE UNTER VERWENDUNG VON LEISTUNGSREGELUNG UND MOBILTELEFON-UNTERSTÜTZTEN HANDOVER MESSUNGEN

摘要

A method and system for the adaptive allocation of channels within a radiocommunication system, specifically a cellular network, is presented. The allocation method takes advantage of measurements made by the mobile radiotelephone and allocates channels based on the carrier to interference ratio. Using adaptive power control, consideration is given to maintaining an acceptable carrier to interference ratio while at the same time minimizing transmit power. Exemplary embodiments consider independent allocation of the uplink and downlink as well as independent determination of the uplink and downlink power levels. Other exemplary embodiments also give consideration to an efficient method for slot allocation in a TDMA communication system.
