Abstract:
A method for topological channel assignment for focused beam, fixed wireless telecommunications, the method comprising:(a) determining a cell configuration to form a plurality of adjacent cells; (b) determining an available channel set, of a plurality of available channel sets, for a selected cell of the plurality of adjacent cells; (c) within the selected cell, determining a plurality of focused beam ranges to create a corresponding plurality of sectors and a corresponding plurality of interference regions; (d) determining a plurality of channel subsets for the corresponding plurality of sectors, wherein each channel subset of the plurality of channel subsets consists of the available channel set excluding an exclusion channel subset of a plurality of exclusion channel subsets; and (e) for each interference region of the plurality of interference regions, assigning the exclusion channel subset of an adjacent sector of the plurality of sectors.
