Self organisation of base station frequencies in a wireless communication system

摘要

A self-organising wireless communication system (10) includes a plurality of wireless serving communication units (24-30) serving a plurality of mobile stations (12-16) with a limited communication resource (18-22). At least one wireless serving communication unit (24-30) includes a transmitter transmitting a wireless transmission message (190) including at least a yoohoo message portion (198). The yoohoo message portion (198) identifies whether transmissions from other wireless serving communication units can be received by the at least one wireless serving communication unit (24-30). This enables several BTSs or repeaters to share simultaneously a single frequency and to indicate to their respective fleets of MS's which frequency they are currently permitted to use and need to monitor for their transmissions. This is achieved partly through the concept of a 'map' of other transmissions to allow access and coordination. It also allows collisions to be detected and resolved when they are likely to occur.
