We disclose a method of dynamic channel assignment for wireless transmission systems that employ time or frequency multiplexing, or both time and frequency multiplexing. The invention is specifically addressed to the problem of avoiding interference in the channels of such systems. In a broad aspect, the invention involves partitioning base stations of a network into non-interfering sets. Channels are allocated to the non-interfering sets according to need. Stages of channel reallocation take place periodically. The reallocation takes place through coordinated activity by the base stations. That is, the channel reallocation is carried out in response to information that is exchanged between base stations, or it is centrally directed by the network in response to information passed to the network by the base stations.

TES (Transform-Expand-Sample) is a versatile class of stationary stochastic processes which can model arbitrary marginals, a wide variety of autocorrelation functions, and a broad range of sample path behaviors. An algorithmic method replaces the previously relied upon heuristic search, thereby automating TES modeling for simulation analysis. The algorithm is solved in a nonlinear programming setting, which takes advantage of fast and accurate computation of TES autocorrelation functions and their partial derivatives to implement a steepest-descent technique, preferably based on Zoutendijk's Feasible Direction Method. The method has particular application to data compression and specifically compressed video.
