Method and apparatus for system control parameter assignments
First Claim
1. A method of assigning an optimal system control parameter in a wireless communication system having one or more transceivers, comprising the steps of:
- applying a reference frame having a plurality of regions to a coverage area of the communication system, wherein the reference frame is independent of the locations of the one or more transceivers and each one of the plurality of regions corresponds to a location estimate;
assigning to each one of the plurality of regions a code corresponding to a system control parameter optimized for the corresponding location estimate; and
providing to a mobile station the code assigned to a region of the plurality of regions in which the mobile station is located.

Abstract
A method of assigning an optimal system control parameter in a wireless communication system (10) having one or more transceivers (11a)-(11g) includes applying a reference frame (14) having a plurality of regions (16)-(20) to the coverage area of the communication system (10). The reference frame (14) is independent of the locations of the one or more transceivers (11a)-(11g) and each of the plurality of regions (16)-(20) corresponds to a location estimate. A code is assigned to each of the plurality of regions (16)-(20), the code corresponding to a system control parameter optimized for that region. A mobile station (12) is assigned the code corresponding to where the mobile station (12) is located.
