Assigning physical channels to time slots using a fragmentation parameter in a hybrid time division multiple access/code division multiple access communication system

摘要

A physical channel of a user service is provided for assignment to a set of time slots in a hybrid time division multiple access/code division multiple access wireless communication system. A measure of interference is determined for each of the set of time slots. A fragmentation parameter is provided. The fragmentation parameter represents a preference for fragmenting user service physical channels over time slots. The user service physical channel is assigned to one of the set of time slots using the measured interference associated with each of the set of time slots and the fragmentation parameter.
