Patent ID: 7640021

Claim:
A method for allocating radio resources in a wireless communication by a radio network controller (RNC), the method comprising: assigning by the RNC an initial allocation of timeslots for a first service and for a first direction of a second service; observing by the RNC an original allocation of radio resources; collecting by the RNC statistics over an observation interval, wherein the collecting includes observing a previous number of timeslots that were reserved for each of the first and second services, an average number of resource units not served, and an average number of resource units served; determining by the RNC whether any timeslots remain to be allocated; determining by the RNC an optimal allocation of timeslots by calculating an offered load as the sum of the average number of resource units not served and the average number of resource units served; calculating by the RNC the average number of resource units that can be served in one timeslot; and re-allocating by the RNC radio resources based on the determining of the optimal allocation.
