METHODS FOR DIVIDING BASE STATION RESOURCES

摘要

Methods for dividing resources of base stations among multiple mobile stations are provided. According to one embodiment of the invention, an overlapping group having a plurality of mobile stations that are overlapped between at least two cellular areas are generated (310) to provide a plurality of overlapping mobile stations, which are ranked (320) based, at least in part, on at least one threshold. A maximum number of the plurality of overlapping mobile stations having a highest ranking that can be assigned with reserved frequency and timing assignments are selected (322) to provide a plurality of selected overlapping mobile stations. These selected overlapping mobile stations are assigned (324) using the reserved frequency and timing assignments.
