Abstract:
1. A method of providing mobile telecommunication service, comprising: receiving a call traffic associated with a call associated at a mobile network with an assigned timeslot of a logical base transceiver station, wherein the logical base transceiver station is seen as a single logical transceiver base station by a base station controller, wherein the logical base transceiver station represents a plurality of serving physical base transceiver stations, wherein the logical base transceiver station comprises a plurality of logical transceivers, wherein the plurality of logical transceivers have a pooled number of logical timeslots, wherein the pooled number of logical timeslots includes a single broadcast channel and a set number of assigned packet data channels; remapping a timeslot with which the call traffic is associated from the assigned timeslot to a serving timeslot being used at a serving physical base transceiver station to facilitate the call, in the event the call traffic comprises inbound call traffic being sent into the mobile network from the serving physical base transceiver station, or from the serving timeslot to the assigned timeslot in the event the call traffic comprises outbound call traffic being sent from the mobile network to the serving physical base transceiver station, wherein each serving physical base transceiver station has its own physical transceiver, each physical transceiver having its own serving timeslots; remapping the broadcast channel of the logical base transceiver station to each broadcast channel of each serving physical base transceiver station; remapping the assigned packet data channels of the logical base transceiver station to each set of packet data channels of each serving physical base transceiver station; and remapping each traffic channel of the logical base transceiver station to one of traffic channels of the plurality of serving base transceiver stations.
