Patent ID: 7328025

Claim:
A method for dynamic allocation of transmission resources to a plurality of communications between a base station and a plurality of mobile terminals, each resource including a plurality of possible configurations, a fast allocation controller associated with the base station being able to allocate to the communications only certain combinations of possible configurations, referred to as available resources, comprising: generating a pseudo-random sequence at the fast allocation controller; and performing allocation at a regular interval at the fast allocation controller by selecting at least one available resource configuration for each of a plurality of communications between the base station and the plurality of mobile terminals at a start of each regular interval according to a value of the pseudo-random sequence; and wherein the generating generates the pseudo-random sequence by: X (1)= x 0 X ( i+ 1)=mod( a·X ( i )+ b− 1,2 N )+1 where x 0 is a word of N bits, x 0 representing a seed of the sequence, a−1 is a non-zero integer which is a multiple of 4, i is a sequence index, and b is an odd number, and where N is an integer such that 2 N is greater than a maximum number of available resources.
