Channel assignment method in a mobile communication system using channel selection order determined by transmission power level
First Claim
1. A channel assignment method in a mobile communication system when assignment is required of a communication channel to be used between a base station and a mobile station, said method channel assignment method comprising the steps of:
- selecting a transmission power level at which the reception level of a transmission signal from said mobile station is at least a specified value a;
selecting communication channels in a first order previously and identically established for all base stations when said transmission power level is at most a specified value b, and selecting communication channels in a second order opposite said first order when said transmission power level exceeds said specified value b;
estimating an interference signal level in a selected communication channel at said base station and at said mobile station; and
assigning a first communication channel at which the ratio of the reception level of the transmission signal in said transmission power level to said interference signal level is at least a specified value c at both said base station and said mobile station.

Abstract
A communication channel assignment method is disclosed in a cellular mobile communication system in which, instead of assigning communication channels in a fixed manner in each cell, whenever there is a demand for assignment of a communication channel to be used between a base station and a mobile station, channels are assigned by merely measuring the ratio of the desired signal to the interference signal at these two stations without checking interference in nearby cells and, if there is surplus in the reception level, transmission power can be lowered. In this communication channel assignment method, channels are selected in a particular order or its reverse that is identically established for all cells depending on whether the transmission power is less than or greater than a specified value.
