Method for channel allocation in a cellular communication system
First Claim
1. A method for allocating radio channels in a cellular communication system in which each cell has at least one base station communicating with the subscriber terminal equipment within a respective area by use of a traffic channel specific for each connection, comprising:
- at least one said base station having a plurality of traffic channels, on at least part of which frequency hopping is used, monitoring the quality of available traffic channels; and
in connection with selecting a traffic channel for respective connections between said base station and respective terminal equipment, taking into account the quality of the respective connection required by each terminal equipment and the interference level of each possible traffic channel,taking into account the quality of the signal received at said base station and at the respective terminal equipment, andtaking into account the power level of the signal received at said base station and the respective terminal equipment, the distance of the respective terminal equipment from said base station, the interference level of free traffic channels, and the signal-to-noise ratio required for a sufficient signal quality at the receiving end.

Abstract
A method for allocating radio channels in a cellular communication system, each cell having at least one base station communicating with the subscriber terminal equipment by means of a traffic channel specific for each connection. The base station monitors the quality of the available traffic channels. For improving the service ability of the cellular communication system, upon selecting the traffic channel for the connection between the base station and the terminal equipment, the quality of the connection required by the terminal equipment and the interference level of each possible traffic channel are taken into account.
