In some aspects, each cell in the communications system can be designed to operate in accordance with a set of back-off factors that identify the reductions in peak transmit power levels for the channels associated with the back-off factors. The back-off factors are defined to provide the required power to a large percentage of the users while reducing the amount of interference. In some other aspects, the cells operate using an adaptive reuse scheme that allows the cells to efficiently allocate and reallocate the system resources to reflect changes in the system. A reuse scheme is initially defined and resources are allocated to the cells. During operation, changes in the operating conditions of the system are detected and the reuse scheme is redefined as necessary based on the detected changes. For example, the loading conditions of the cells can be detected, and the resources can be reallocated and / or the reuse scheme can be redefined. In yet other aspects, techniques are provided to efficiency schedule data transmissions and to assign channels to users. Data transmissions can be scheduled based on user priorities, some fairness criteria, system requirements, and other factors. Users are assigned to available channels based on a number of channel assignment schemes. Channel metrics are also provided, which can be used to prioritize users and for channel assignments.

Disclosed is a system and method for channel allocation in a multi-band wireless network. The system includes microcell base stations, at least one macrocell base station, a mobile station, and a channel allocation center. When the mobile station makes / receives a call or executes a handover, the channel allocation center uses repacking on demand (RoD) scheme to allocate a radio channel of either a macrocell base station or a microcell base station to the mobile station. RoD has the following steps. First, a microcell channel is trying to be allocated if available. If no microcell channel is available, a macrocell channel is then trying to be allocated. Third, if no macrocell channel is available, repacking is performed to execute a handover of another mobile station's call from the macrocell to another microcell, and to allocate a reclaimed macrocell channel to the mobile station. Otherwise, no repacking call is available and the mobile station is blocked or forced terminated. By the invention, call blocking probability and call handover rate of the mobile stations in the multi-band wireless network can be reduced, and thus users' satisfaction can be enhanced.

A channel allocation process for a cellular telephone network starts from a position of homogeneity in which each base station has the potential to use all channels. It develops ever greater heterogeneities by processing a combination of short and medium range interactions between the base stations themselves, causing each base station of the cellular telephone network to inhibit its neighbors from using a given channel, to generate a usage factor for each channel in each cell indicative of the level of interference to be expected on that channel in that cell. Channels can then be allocated to each base station according to the ranking of the usage factors determined for the channels at that base station. The entire network may be emulated by a single processor, controlling the base stations of the network in accordance with the results of the process. Alternatively, each base station of the network performs that part of the process relating to itself, in co-operation with its neighbors, and utilizes channels in accordance with results.

A dynamic channel assignment scheme for a TDD radio communication system (100) with coexisting dedicated (230; 240) and shared (210; 220) channels has segregated dedicated and shared channel mechanisms. Up to nDL<sub2>—< / sub2>DCH<sub2>—< / sub2>MAX / nUL<sub2>—< / sub2>DCH<sub2>—< / sub2>MAX dedicated downlink / uplink channel slots are granted, with the remainder of slots for shared channels. These maximum numbers accommodate the needs of conversational and streaming class traffic carried on shared channels. New slots can be claimed for dedicated channels (subject to this maximum) as required, taking the shared channel slot with the smallest timeslot. If the last DCH allocation in a slot is ended, the slot is freed for DSCH / USCH usage. This provides the following advantage(s): uplink algorithm metrics account for intercell interference, the most significant interference source in TDD mode systems, leading to greater capacity; midcall reallocation allows coverage and quality of service to a user to be maintained when a user moves from the centre of the cell to the cell edge; dynamic split between dedicated channel timeslots and shared channel timeslots allows the network to optimise radio resources according to traffic type, leading to an overall higher capacity when the network supports both dedicated channels and shared channels; alignment of the DCH slots across many cells improves the usefulness of measurements for DCA / CAC.

The reuse partitioning problem for a cellular orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) system with dynamic subcarrier allocation is considered. One objective is to allocate the network resources in an efficient way in order to maximize the system's total throughput under individual user's quality-of-service (QoS) constraint.

Compared with the optimal resource allocation scheme, the approach described herein has much lower computational complexity in the RNC. Moreover, the communication overhead between each BS and the RNC is reduced substantially which renders our approach more practical for delay sensitive applications. Throughput increase is demonstrated
