  • Device and method for administering and assigning radio transmission channels in mobile radio networks
    Patent number: 6317598
    Abstract: A device for assigning radio transmission channels administers the radio transmission channels within a radio zone and optimizes the utilization of the radio transmission channels. The radio transmission channels for communications links from/to a mobile station are assigned to at least one base station. The device for assigning the radio transmission channels includes a signal evaluation device, a memory device, and a control device. The memory device stores matrices with one or more parameters. The assignment of the radio transmission channels advantageously changes dynamically as a function of the variation of the parameters in the matrices. A method for administering and assigning radio transmission channels is also provided.
