Method and apparatus for bandwidth resource allocation in mobile communication system

Controlling cell size by adjusting handoff parameters

To reduce the traffic load in a cell of a cellular communication system, the cell size is reduced thus transferring traffic to adjacent cells. The quality (bit error rate or frame error rate) of a communication channel is monitored, with a deterioration in quality indicating traffic overload. Cell size is reduced by reducing the power of a pilot signal transmitted from the cell's base station or by changing the hand-off parameters (which may be set in the mobile). Adjacent cells increase in size in the same manner so that no gap in coverage is produced. According to the present invention, the cell size is varied by sending new handoff parameters to a mobile station in dependence upon the communication quality of monitored CDMA communication channels.

Adaptive frequency response plan

A cellular telecommunications network comprises N cells associated to form a cluster and a plurality of clusters are associated to form a modified cluster. The network has T frequency channels available which are distributed over the modified cluster according to a first frequency reuse plan. The plan involves, assigning a first group of frequencies to a first cell, assigning a different group of frequencies to a second cell and when an increase in call capacity requires further channels, reusing frequencies from the second cell within the first cell. In practice a seven cell cluster may be used A7-G7. The modified cluster may contain seven clusters, wherein the cells are labelled in the same pattern for each cluster, e.g. A3-G3. Since all of the T frequencies are used only once over the modified cluster, the frequency borrowed to accommodate extra traffic is chosen from a cell in the modified cluster which is in the same position in the basic cluster e.g. G7 uses G3 as its source of extra ...

The DSC may receive the resource register response message and a bid success message via the DSAAP, and send a resources allocated message to the DPC via the DSAAP to commit the requested amount of bandwidth for use by the second telecommunication network.

MULTI-CARRIER WIRELESS NETWORK USING FLEXIBLE FRACTIONAL FREQUENCY REUSE

A base station for use in a wireless network capable of communicating according to a multi-carrier protocol. The base station communicates with subscriber stations using a first pre-defined set of subcarriers. If the bas e station determines that no additional subcarriers are available in the first pre-defined set to communicate with a first subscriber station, the base station borrows subcarrier resources by selecting a first subcarrier in a second pre-defined set of subcarriers used by a first neighboring base stati on and allocates the first subcarrier in the second pre-defined set to communicate with the first subscriber station.

ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL TRANSITION: SELECTING THE OPTIMAL CELLULARRADIO MIX

In a transition phase of a cellular cell from analog-to-digital radio service it must be determined how many of the base station radios in a cell must be changed over from analog to digital, given the proportion of mobile phones w ith dual-mode capability to analog phones. A dual-mode mobile phone has the capability to interface with both analog and digital radios. In determining the radio mix, it is desirable to maximize the call handling capacity of a cell, or mi nimize the blocking experienced by the mobile subscribers. To address these questions, an analytical model is developed to compute the blocking rate experienced by mo bilecallers in a cell, given the cell's offered load, th e mix of analog and dual-mode mobiles, and the analog-digital split of the RF channels available to the ce ll. The model's results enable selection of the channel split that gives the lowest blocking rate, and to compile charts that show the relationship between the proportio n ofdual-mode mobiles, the number ...

Resource scheduling in a cellular system

The invention relates to a method for scheduling resources for uplink transmissions in a radio access network comprising access points which own pre-assigned resources. The invention also relates to an access point (5-7), a user terminal (1-4) and an access point controller 8. Characteristic features of the invention are that each AP places its resources to the disposition of other APs in the access network, and that an AP (7) transmits a blocking signal (BLOCK R3) if it does not allow a UT (3), which is served by an AP (5) in another cell, to use its resources (R3). A UT that detects a blocking signal from an AP that owns the resources on which the UT is transmitting immediately stops transmission on said resources. The signal quality of a detected blocking signal may be used for setting the transmission power on the resources the UT has borrowed from the AP which transmits the blocking signal. Based on statistics on the APs which transmit blocking signals long-term pre-allocation of resources ...

A SPREAD-SPECTRUM BASED CELLULAR MOBILE RADIO SYSTEM, AND A CONTROL ARRANGEMENT, A RADIO BASE STATION, AND A MOBILE RADIO STATION

Known are spread-spectrum based cellular mobile radio systems (1). Due to interference from calls in neighbouring radio zones (j') with respect to given radio zones (j), too much traffic per radio zone (Z1, Z2) could easily lead to system overload to the effect that the quality of calls becomes unacceptable. It is proposed to overcome this problem by resolving average mutual interferences (Iu(j)av, Id(j)av) between radio zones (j, j') from a total interference experienced in a radio zone (j), using statistical methods. First, interference measurements are carried out in the radio zones (Z1, Z2), and data is transmitted to a central control arrangement (CA) which resolves the average mutual interferences. Then, these average mutual interferences (Iu(j)av, Id(j)av) are used in an optimization process for acquiring access control parameters (x) for controlling traffic per radio zone (Z1, Z2). In the optimizing process various objective functions may be applied so as to fulfil system operator ...

LOAD BALANCING FOR CELLULAR RADIO TELEPHONE SYSTEMS

Balancing of loading of cells in a cellular mobile radio telephone system is performed by periodically determining the channel utilization of each cell, computing a representative voice channel occupancy level, and attempting to hand-off calls from cells with higher voice channels occupancy levels to adjacent cells with lower voice channel occupancy levels. Voice channel occupancy levels of cells are measured and compared with threshold values, and the results of the comparisons are used to direct cells to enter predetermined states. In one state, complete cell blockage is prevented by directing cells to hand-off calls to adjacent cells. In another state, voice channels are preserved for incoming hand-offs by directing the cell to deny access to mobile transceivers initiating new calls. Cells may assume a combined stage wherein both of these functions are performed simultaneously. Cells are selected as hand-off candidates for hand-offs initiated to more evenly distribute loading throughout ...

Control apparatus for use in a cellular system

To reduce the traffic load in a cell of a cellular communication system, the cell size is reduced thus transferring traffic to adjacent cells. The quality (bit error rate or frame error rate) of a communication channel is monitored, with a deterioration in quality indicating traffic overload. Cell size is reduced by reducing the power of a pilot signal transmitted from the cell's base station or by changing the hand-off parameters (which may be set in the mobile). Adjacent cells increase in size in the same manner so that no gap in coverage is produced. According to the invention, the power level of the pilot signal is decreased to a first predetermined level when the quality of a monitored CDMA channel is below a first level and is increased to a second predetermined level when the quality is above a second level.
