Abstract
Allocation of a plurality of channels in a wireless network is described. The allocation process has each base station serving the sectors in the network scan each unused channel of the plurality of channels in its served sector. The signal quality of each scanned, unused channel is measured and sorted according to the measured signal quality. The quality-sorted unused channels are then ordered according to a statistical algorithm. An ordered list of available channels is generated according to results of the statistical algorithm ordering. This ordered list is broadcast to each access terminal (AT) registered with the base station. New communication between the base station and its registered ATs is then initiated using one of the unused channels in the ordered list.
