Patent ID: 7904098

Claim:
A mobile telecommunications system, comprising: at least one base station; a plurality of user stations, wherein the at least one base station and the plurality of mobile stations form a telecommunications network; an assigning arrangement to assign transmission channels in the telecommunications network, wherein the transmission channels are provided for transmitting signals between the at least one base station and the plurality of mobile stations, by performing, in an uncoordinated operation of the at least one base station for establishing a connection between the at least one base station and one of the mobile stations, assigning an uplink and a downlink transmission channel for the transmission of signals between the at least one base station and the one of the mobile stations; and a channel measuring arrangement to in which the at least one base station and the one of the mobile stations each perform a channel measurement on all possible transmission channels to determine whether such transmission channels are below a pre-selected value for connection quality, and said uplink and downlink transmission channels are assigned based on said measurement, and thereafter the at least one base station and the one of the mobile stations repeatedly re-measure all of the possible transmission channels not previously used to determine whether such transmission channels are below a pre-selected value for connection quality; wherein the channel measurement on all possible transmission channels is performed before the assigning of the uplink channel and the downlink channel, and wherein the one of the mobile stations performs the channel measurement for channel transmissions in the downlink direction and the at least one base station performs the channel measurement for channel transmissions in the uplink direction with independent assignment of the uplink channel and the downlink channel.
