Method for dynamically assigning spreading codes

摘要

A method for assigning a number of spreading codes by a base station. The method includes comparing a number of spreading codes in use by the base station with a first threshold. Thereafter, one radio configuration is assigned by the base station if the number of spreading codes in use is less than or equal to the first threshold. Alternatively, if the number of used spreading codes is greater than the first threshold, then a ratio of spreading code usage to power usage with is compared with a second threshold. If the ratio is determined to be less than the second threshold, then a different radio configuration is assigned by the base station.
