Patent ID: 7133680

Claim:
A method for automatically resetting and reallocating frequencies to non-saturated base stations of a mobile telephone network, comprising the steps of (a) checking if combiner separations prevent a saturation of the base station and, if this is the case, then the corresponding frequencies are reset and reallocated; (b) checking if a frequency could not be allocated to the base station in the previous step, if—depending on the allocation mode—a Pn+1 frequency has the quality requirements for a Pn frequency, and, if this is the case, the corresponding frequency is retuned and the frequencies are reallocated; (c) resetting, in the event that no frequency could be allocated to the base station in the previous steps, frequencies at least one neighboring base station, which have a direct interference relationship with the particular base station and which prevent a frequency allocation to the particular station, whereby frequencies of the particular base station and the neighboring base station are reallocated; (d) resetting, in the event that no frequency could be allocated to the base station in the previous steps, the frequencies at least one neighboring base station, which prevents an allocation by an indirect interference relationship with the particular base station, whereby frequencies are reallocated to the particular base station and the neighboring base station.
