Abstract
A method and apparatus for providing a high capacity radio communication network. The network employs a low frequency reuse technique between cells. The reuse technique renders the network interference limited, for example, by providing all cells in the network with the ability to allocate traffic channels on all frequencies assigned to the network for traffic channels. The reuse technique employed is Fractional Load Planning that can be extended to extreme capacities through Channel Allocation Tiering (CHAT). The radio resources in each cell are allocated using a Service Based Power Setting (SBPS) technique such that network capacity is maximized while allowing each service group to achieve its required quality of service (QoS) requirements. To limit the interference, thus maintaining/controlling the required QoS level for already admitted users, in the network a Power Based Admission Control (PBAC) technique is employed to control the admission of new users into the network.
