System and method for personal communication system dynamic channel allocation
First Claim
1. A method for dynamically allocating a plurality of time division multiplexed channels of a digital signal in a wired ring communications network having a base station controller and a predetermined number of node devices receiving and inserting digital communication information across the network, comprising the base station controller performing the steps of:
- (1) communicating over the wired ring communications network with the node devices via the plurality of time division multiplexed channels of the digital signal;
(2) assigning each respective node device a first number of the plurality of time division multiplexed channels of the digital signal;
(3) allocating a second number of the plurality of time division multiplexed channels of the digital signal as floating channels; and
(4) allocating dynamically said floating channels to the respective node devices according to an allocation scheme.

Abstract
A personal communication network distribution system includes a predetermined number of node devices, a controller, and a network connecting the controller to each of the node devices. The network carries a time division multiplexed signal having a plurality of channels for carrying digital communication information signals between the controller and the respective node devices. Each respective node device is assigned a respective predetermined number of the plurality of channels for receiving digital communication information signals from and/or for inserting digital communication information signals into the time division multiplexed signal. The time division multiplexed signal also includes a second predetermined number of non-assigned channels. The controller assigns one of the non-assigned channels of the time division multiplexed signal to one of the node devices for receiving and/or for inserting communication information signals into the time division multiplexed signal based on call activity at the one node device.

9. A method for dynamically allocating twenty-four time division multiplexed (TDM) channels of a T-1 signal in a wired ring communications network having a base station controller (BSC) and a predetermined number of base transceiver stations (BTSs) receiving and inserting digital communication information across the network, comprising the BSC performing the steps of:
-
(1) communicating with the BTSs via the twenty-four TDM channels of the T-1 signal over the wired ring communications network; (2) assigning a first number of the twenty-four TDM channels of the T-1 signal to each of the respective BTSs; (3) allocating a second number of the twenty-four TDM channels of the T-1 signal as floating channels; and (4) allocating dynamically said floating channels to the respective BTSs according to an allocation scheme. - View Dependent Claims (10)
