Abstract
A dynamic channel management method ( ) determines which base station ( ) is a least utilized base station for servicing a channel request made by a subscriber unit ( ). The least utilized base station is based on what base station ( ) is more available to handle the channel request. If the least utilized base station can handle the channel request, it assigns and grants a channel to the subscriber unit ( ). Otherwise, the channel request is blocked or denied. The dynamic channel management method ( ) provides a systematic way for dynamically matching the available channel resources with the actual demand as a function of time. This enables the system ( ) to handle significantly more traffic than with pure static channel management schemes.
