Cellular mobile radio system utilizing predetermined channel lists

摘要

In a cellular mobile radio network a limited number of available channels must be allocated among the various cells, and the efficiency of such allocation is highly variable with changing traffic conditions in the network. To solve this problem the invention determines all possible radio situations which may arise in the network, including the radio positions of a mobile station and occupancy of the various channels. The individual components of each possible radio situation are then compared with predetermined thresholds so as to reduce the multiplicity of such situations to a relatively small number of classified radio situations each of which has its own channel list allocated thereto. When a channel is requested for a mobile station, the relevant classified radio situation is determined and channel assignment is made from the channel list applicable to that classified situation.
