METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ALLOCATING A SYSTEM RESOURCE TO SUBSCRIBERS OF A WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM

摘要

In a method for allocating a system resource (46) to subscribers of a wireless communication system a resource sensitivity indicator is determined for a system resource allocated by the wireless communication system for each of a first subscriber and a second subscriber (24, 26, 28). The system resource may include a level of service, a channel frequency, or a data rate. Next, an inefficient allocation of the system resource detected. One of the first and second subscribers having a lower resource sensitivity indicator is selected. Finally, an allocation of the system resource is changed for the selected subscriber unit to increase the efficiency of the allocation of the system resource.
