Method and Arrangement for Allocating a Dedicated Channel in a Cellular Communication System
First Claim
1. :
- A method of allocating a dedicated communication channel in a cellular communication system comprising;
determining a ranking for a plurality of communication channels designated as dedicated channels;
selecting a highest ranked communication channel of the plurality of communication channels as a test communication channel;
performing an allocation feasibility test for the test communication channel; and
if the test communication channel passes the allocation feasibility test, allocating the test communication channel; and
if the test communication channel does not pass the feasibility test, determining if the plurality of communication channels comprises any non-tested communication channels; and
if the plurality of communication channels comprises any non-tested communication channels, selecting the next highest ranked communication channel as the test communication channel and proceeding with the step of performing an allocation feasibility test; and
if the plurality of communication channels does not comprise any non-tested communication channels, re-designating a first communication channel designated as a shared communication channel as a dedicated communication channel.
