Abstract
Subscriber traffic loading in wireless channel sets (31) is indirectly estimated, and distribution of channel sets (31) among regions (39) in the confined space is optimized to more evenly allocate subscribers among those channel sets (31). Multiple service providers, multiple wireless technologies, and both donor-site and in-building micro-cell implementations are supported.
Claims12
A method for dynamically allocating a plurality of wireless channel sets within a served area which is responsive to subscriber traffic loading on said channel sets, each of said channel sets providing wireless communication services to subscribers to one or more wireless service providers, said method consisting of the steps of:
- (a) providing a means of estimating the subscriber traffic loading on each of said channel sets without direct interface to at least one wireless communications service network, and
- (b) providing a means to determine if more efficient use of said channel sets can be made by redistributing said channel sets among radiating elements in said served area, and
- (c) providing a means to control the distribution of said channel sets among said radiating elements in said served area.
