Traffic distribution analysis in a land mobile radio system
First Claim
1. A land mobile radio system, comprising:
- a plurality of radio channel units each having a transmit section for transmission of RF signals;
a plurality of antenna means;
control system means for dynamically connecting said transmit section of each one of said plurality of radio channel units with any one of said plurality of antenna means; and
traffic distribution monitoring means for storing traffic distribution information indicative of the amount of usage of each one of said plurality of antenna means by each one of said plurality of radio channel units for the transmission of RF signals.

Abstract
In a system for interconnecting a plurality of radio channel units in a single trunk group with a plurality of directional antennas and/or antenna beams, each radio channel unit has a receive section and a transmit section and the system dynamically connects the receive and transmit sections of each one of the radio channel units with any one of the plurality of antennas which, on average during a sampling period, is best suited for receiving and transmitting RF signals at the operating frequency of the radio channel unit. The system further includes traffic distribution monitor for monitoring, storing and displaying information on a periodic basis indicative of the usage of each antenna and/or antenna beam. The specific antenna or antenna beam being utilized by a radio channel unit is monitored on a periodic basis during communications between the radio channel unit and a mobile radio unit, and this information is stored in a memory associated with the radio channel unit.
