Abstract
Time sharing of a radio communication channel among a plurality of interfering cells (302) is provided. The radio communication channel transmits information in a plurality of time slots (502). The radio communication channel is partitioned (704) into a plurality of virtual channels (V1, V2). A virtual channel is used for communicating simultaneously with corresponding ones of the plurality of interfering cells which are assigned to the virtual channel. No more than one of the plurality of virtual channels operates during any one of the plurality of time slots, and the time sharing of the radio communication channel is optimized (708, 710) by activating selected ones of the plurality of virtual channels, based upon a traffic load applicable to the corresponding ones of the plurality of interfering cells.
