Channel assignment method for multi-FA CDMA cellular systems
First Claim
1. A channel assignment method for multi-FA (Frequency Assignment) CDMA cellular systems in which a base station communicates a plurality of mobile stations, said method comprising the steps of:
- comparing a first threshold value with a cell loading factor of a first FA when the base station receives a new call request in said first FA;
assigning a first traffic channel in the first FA, if the cell loading factor of said first FA is less than the first threshold value, otherwise searching for a second FA of which the cell loading factor is minimum;
comparing a second threshold value with the cell loading factor of the second FA; and
assigning a second traffic channel in the second FA, if the cell loading factor of the second FA is less than the second threshold value, otherwise rejecting the request;
wherein the cell loading factor of each of the first and second FAs is determined by the following equation;
cell loading factor=1−
thermal noise power/received power.

Abstract
A method for assigning a channel in multi-FA CDMA mobile communication system according to the received power prevents communication quality of a FA from being inferior to that of the others by managing the interference level of the FA. The method comprises the steps of: comparing a first threshold value with received power when the base station receives a new call request; assigning a traffic channel in a first FA of the request, if the received power is less than the first threshold value, and searching a second FA of which received power is least, if not; comparing a second threshold value with the received power of the second FA; and assigning a traffic channel in the second FA if the received power is less than the second threshold value, and rejecting the request, if not.
