Abstract:
A method for a radio channel allocation based on at least one signal to interference criterion in a telecommunication network, comprising at least one fixed transceiver, the at least one fixed transceiver configured to have connections with mobile radio stations the method comprising:calculating first signal to interference estimates for at least two mobile radio stations connected to the network, the at least two mobile radio stations comprising a first mobile radio station connected to the network on a first channel and at least one second mobile radio station; calculating a second signal to interference estimate for the first mobile radio station, the second signal to interference estimate estimating a case that the first mobile radio station is served by a second channel; calculating a third signal to interference estimate for the at least one second mobile radio station, the third signal to interference estimate estimating a case that the first mobile radio station is served by the second channel; comparing the second and the third signal to interference estimates to the at least one signal to interference criterion; and performing the channel allocation for the first mobile radio station based upon a result of the comparing.
