METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR REUSE OF RADIO RESOURCES IN MEDICAL TELEMETRY NETWORKS
First Claim
1. A method for reusing radio resources in a medical telemetry network, the method comprising:
- receiving at a server, traffic information for a plurality of mobile transceivers from a plurality of distributed receivers, wherein each of the plurality of mobile transceivers resides in a coverage zone formed by the plurality of distributed receivers;
identifying time slot assignments and frequency channel assignments of the plurality of mobile transceivers based on the traffic information;
updating one or more time slot assignments and/or one or more frequency channel assignments based, at least in part, on the traffic information; and
broadcasting updated instances of the time slot assignments and updated instances of frequency channel assignments.

Abstract
Methods and systems and computer program products for reusing radio resources in a medical telemetry networks are provided. The method receives at a server, traffic information for a plurality of mobile transceivers, from a plurality of distributed receivers. The method identifies time slot assignments and frequency channel assignments of the plurality of mobile transceivers based on traffic information. The method then updates one or more time slot assignments and/or one or more frequency channel assignments based, at least in part, on traffic information. Finally, the method broadcasts updated instances of the time slot assignments and updated instances of frequency channel assignments.
