The invention relates to a method of equalizing blockages in a partioned cell mobile radio communication system with overlaid channel reuse patterns, so called cell clusters. A mobile station can be assigned a channel which belongs to a cell cluster with less cells (small cells) than remaining cells (large cells) in the system. The small cells are overlaid the large cells. The invention is based on the fact that if, for a constant number of channels (3n+9m) in the system, a channel is moved from the large cell group (the 9-cluster group), then the number of channels in the small cell group (the 3-cluster group) increases by a factor = the relationship between the channels in the large cell and small cell groups, respectively. In such a system the blockages for mobile stations far away from the base station can be much higher than for mobile stations near the base stations. A plurality (k) of the channels (m) which are available in the large cells outside the small cells solely for the traffic (B) in this area is reserved, these channels being blocked for the traffic (A) within the small cells. Different ways of reserving these channels are described, so that a favorable equalization of the blockages in the system is achieved. |
