Method and system for managing radio resources in a time-slotted communication system
First Claim
1. A method of managing radio resources in a time-slotted wireless communication system, the method comprising:
- (a) sorting a plurality of time slots of a radio resource into a plurality of different categories, each category being associated with a different level of quality of service (QoS);
(b) obtaining QoS information with respect to a user in response to a radio resource request received from the user; and
(c) associating the user with a particular category of time slots based on the QoS information of the user.

Abstract
A method and system for managing radio resources in a time-slotted wireless communication system is based on the quality of service (QoS) information of a user. A plurality of time slots of a radio resource are sorted into a plurality of different categories, such as high QoS time slots, high capacity time slots, and balanced time slots. Each category is associated with a different level of QoS. QoS information with respect to a user is obtained in response to a radio resource request received from the user. The user is associated with a particular category of time slots based on the QoS information of the user.
