SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ALLOCATING CHANNEL ELEMENTS IN A CODE DIVISION MULTIPLE ACCESS RADIO TELECOMMUNICATIONS NETWORK

摘要

A method and system for allocating channel elements in a code division multiple access (CDMA) radio telecommunications network is disclosed. The method begins by a contribution assessor (79) determining a candidate set of base stations having sufficient signal strength with the entering mobile station (93) to establish a voice channel. Next, the contribution assessor measures the signal strength between each base station (83-87) of the candidate set of base stations and the operating mobile stations served by each of the base stations. The contribution assessor determines which base station of the candidate set of base stations has the weakest signal strength with one of its served operating mobile stations. Then, a load processor (81) reallocates a channel element (107) away from the mobile station (89) having the weakest signal strength to the entering mobile station (93).
