Abstract
The present invention is directed to a method and apparatus for assigning channels in a cellular environment. A time period T is defined in which cellular operational measurement information such as traffic information and mobility information are collected. Channels that are available for allocation are collected and maintained in a matrix. The predicted number of channels are calculated based on the operational measurement information. Using the channels available for allocation and the predicted number of channels, channels are allocated for use. As the operational measurement information changes the time period T is adjusted to accommodate the changes in traffic or mobility within the cellular system.
