Abstract
In a cellular telecommunications system, a method of dynamically allocating packet data radio channels among users competing in a same cell for the channels involves determining a user ranking for each of plural competing users in the cell, and classifying each of the plural competing users into one of plural ranking classes. A number of the packet data radio channels available for each of the ranking classes is then determined, after which the users within each ranking class are sorted by ranking. The packet data radio channels are allocated to the users by sorted position within ranking classes. The user ranking for each of the plural competing users in the cell is related to a weighted combination of plural measures of performance for the user.

In a cellular telecommunications system, a method of dynamically allocating packet data radio channels among users competing in a same cell for the channels, the method comprising:
- (1) determining a user ranking for each of plural competing users in the cell whereby the each of the plural competing users is classified into one of plural ranking classes;
- (2) determining a number of the packet data radio channels available for each of the ranking classes;
- (3) sorting users within each ranking class by ranking;
- and
- (4) allocating the packet data radio channels to the users by ranking classes and in accordance with the sorting of step (3);
- wherein the user ranking for a user is determined according to a weighted combination of plural measures of performance for the user.
A node of a cellular telecommunications system which dynamically allocates packet data radio channels among users competing in a same cell for the channels, the node including a processor which executes instructions stored in a memory for performing the steps of:
- (1) determining a user ranking for each of plural competing users in the cell whereby the each of the plural competing users is classified into one of plural ranking classes;
- (2) determining a number of the packet data radio channels available for each of the ranking classes;
- (3) sorting users within each ranking class by ranking;
- and
- (4) allocating the packet data radio channels to the users by ranking classes and in accordance with the sorting of step (3);
- wherein the user ranking for a user is determined according to a weighted combination of plural measures of performance for the user.
In a cellular telecommunications system, a method of dynamically allocating packet data radio channels among users competing in a same cell for the channels, the method comprising:
- (1) determining a user ranking for each of plural competing users in the cell, the user ranking for a user being determined according to a weighted combination of plural measures of performance for the user;
- and
- (2) allocating the packet data radio channels to the users in accordance with user ranking.
