1. A method performed by a wireless network device, the method comprising:
- dynamically allocating, dynamically by the wireless network device to a user equipment (UE) in a cell, a first timeslot to a downlink dedicated channel for a call, wherein the first timeslot has a lowest available timeslot number in a frame associated with a plurality of pre-configured timeslot numbers;
monitoring, by the wireless network device, the call and reallocating the call to a different second timeslot substantially midcall during the call, wherein the different second timeslot has a highest high quality rank in the cell during the frame;
allocating, subsequently by the wireless network device, another a third timeslot for a downlink shared channel in the cell, wherein the another third timeslot has a highest available timeslot number; and
wherein allocation of timeslots to the downlink dedicated channel are prioritized over allocation of timeslots to the downlink shared channel.

Abstract
A wireless network dynamically allocating a timeslot to a downlink dedicated channel to a user equipment (UE) in a cell is disclosed. A call may be reallocated a different timeslot midcall where the different timeslot has a highest quality rank in the cell. The timeslot may then be allocated to a downlink shared channel in the cell. The allocation of the timeslot to the downlink dedicated channel may be prioritized over the allocation of the timeslot to the downlink shared channel.

10. A wireless network characterized in that device comprising:
-
the wireless network isone or more processors configured to allocate, dynamically to a user equipment (UE) in a cell, a first timeslot to a downlink dedicated channel for a call, wherein the first timeslot has a lowest available timeslot number in a frame associated with a plurality of pre-configured timeslot numbers; the wireless network isthe one or more processors further configured to monitor the call and configured to reallocate the call to a differentsecond timeslot substantially midcallduring the call, wherein the differentsecond timeslot has a highesthigh quality rank in the cellduring the frame; the wireless network is one or more processors are further configured to allocate, subsequently, another a third timeslot for a downlink shared channel in the cell, wherein the another third timeslot has a highest available timeslot number; and wherein allocation of timeslots to the downlink dedicated channel are prioritized over allocation of timeslots to the downlink shared channel. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
