1. A method for assigning physical channels to time slots in a hybrid wireless time division multiple access/code division multiple access communication system, comprising the steps of:
- providing physical channels for assignment;
providing a set of time slots for potential assignment;
arranging the set of time slots into a plurality of sequences based on a quality of each of the set of time slots, the quality of each time slot being based on in part an interference measurement and an allowed number of the provided physical channels to be assigned, the set of time slots being arranged into the plurality of sequences by varying weights associated with the interference measurement and the allowed number of physical channels associated with each of the set of time slots;
assigning the provided physical channels to the time slots of each sequence in a time slot order; and
for successfully assigned ones of the plurality of sequences, determining a highest quality sequence based on in part an overall interference and fragmentation of the assigned sequences.

Abstract
Physical channels are to be assigned to a set of slots in a hybrid time division multiple access/code division multiple access wireless communication system. The set of time slots are arranged into a sequence based on a quality of each of the set of time slots. The physical channels are assigned to the time slots in a time slot order of the sequence.
