Method of allocating transmission resources
First Claim
1. Allocation method for allocating transmission resources to a plurality of communications between a base station and a plurality of mobile terminals, characterized in that, for a communication with a given mobile terminal, a resource allocation criterion is selected from amongst a plurality of predetermined allocation criteria consisting of extra-cellular interference and at least one of intra-cellular interference and allocation of time resources, the selection of said criterion being made using a quantity characteristic of the propagation losses between said mobile terminal and the base station.

21. An allocation method, comprising:
-
determining a first value which is a function of propagation loss between a mobile terminal and a base station;
comparing said value to a second value;
based on said comparing selecting first and second alternative allocation criteria;
when said first criterion is selected, selecting a time slot in a transmission frame based upon a level of interference; and
when said second criterion is selected, selecting a time slot in a transmission based upon availability of transmission codes. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26)
