Time-allocation of radio carriers
First Claim
1. A method of time-allocation of cellular radio carriers comprising:
- deterministically a carrier of radio traffic to one coverage area during one time intervaland deterministically allocating that same carrier to another coverage area during a substantially non-overlapping time interval, all in time synchronism with any proximal reuse of that carrier.

Abstract
In a TDMA cellular system, there is provided a mechanism for splitting the allocation of time slots within a TDM frame between adjacent coverage areas. There is provided a method of and apparatus for time-allocation of TDMA channels. It comprises: periodically allocating some portion of a carrier of radio traffic to one coverage area during one time interval and periodially allocating some other portion of that same carrier to another coverage area during a substantially non-overlapping time interval, all in time synchronism with any proximal reuse of that carrier. The distribution of channels in adjacent coverage areas thereby approaches parity and the minimum channel capacity per coverage area is enchanced.

11. A method of time-allocation of cellular radio carriers comprising:
-
periodically deterministically allocating a carrier of radio traffic to one coverage area during one time interval and periodically deterministically allocating that same carrier to another coverage area during a substantially non-overlapping time interval, all in time synchronism with any proximal reuse of that carrier, whereby the distribution of carriers in adjacent coverage areas approaches parity and the nominal channel capacity per coverage area is enhanced.

12. An apparatus for time-allocation of TDMA channels comprising:
-
means for periodically deterministically allocating a carrier of radio traffic to one coverage area during one time interval operatively coupled with means for periodically deterministically allocating that same carrier to another coverage area during a substantially non-overlapping time interval, all in time synchronism with any proximal reuse of that carrier, whereby the distribution of carriers in adjacent coverage areas approaches parity and the nominal channel capacity per coverage area is enhanced.
