First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of assigning frequency channels to a beam in a multi-beam cellular communications system, the method comprising:
- a) generating a set of priority values for the multi-beam cellular communication system, each of said priority values representing selection priority for a corresponding frequency channel for a particular beam; and
b) assigning a frequency channel to a given beam in response to said set of priority values.
