<p>A dynamic channel management method (100) determines which base station (14, 24, 26) is a least utilized base station for servicing a channel request made by a subscriber unit (40). The least utilized base station is based on what base station (14, 24, 26) is more available to handle the channel request. If the least utilized base station can handle the channel request, it assigns and grants a channel to the subscriber unit (40). Otherwise, the channel request is blocked or denied. The dynamic channel management method (100) provides a systematic way for dynamically matching the available channel resources with the actual demand as a function of time. This enables the system (10) to handle significantly more traffic than with pure static channel management schemes.</p> |
