Abstract
A method for reducing the required number of channels needed to serve distributed communication traffic from a centralized capacity resource. The crucial aspect of the system under consideration is that the capacity needs vary as a function of time. Specially, a cellular communication system is described in which the basestations are centrally located and RF channels are diverted, by means of an RF switch, to remotely located cells. The number of traffic channels allocated to each cell is a time dependent offered traffic in the cells and the total number of available channels.
