Patent ID: 6882847

Claim:
A method for increasing the spectral efficiency of a wireless telecommunications system within a cell, said method comprising the steps of: dividing a plurality of channels within the cell of said wireless telecommunications system into a plurality of logical groups for the cell; mapping a first group of said plurality of logical groups onto a first plurality of radio resources within the cell; and mapping at least one other group of said plurality of logical groups for the cell onto a second plurality of radio resources within the cell, at least one radio resource in said second plurality of radio resources corresponding to at least one radio resource in said first plurality of radio resources, wherein said steps of mapping said first group and mapping said at least one other group are performed according to a communication measure, where the communication measure is selected from the group consisting of: current load in said plurality of logical groups, prevailing quality of active service sessions, Quality-of-Service requirements of service sessions, directions of users with respect to a base station, distance of users from a base station, path loss of users from a base station, users received signal strengths, geographical distance from users to a cell border, radio distance from users a cell border and any combination of communication measures.
