Abstract
A central controller (40) executes a method (100) that selects and assigns channels to serve mobile subscriber units (30) in a space-based mobile telecommunication system (10). The method (100) is based on simultaneous consideration of a number of criteria that affect overall system performance of the mobile telecommunication system. Another method (200) assigns serving cells (15-18) by matching the available channel resources with actual caller demand as a function of time. The methods (100, 200) may be used in systems where the actual demand (i.e., offered subscriber traffic) and the number of channels available in each cell (15-18) is varying over time.
