Dynamic Channel Assignment in High-Capacity Mobile Communications Systems
01 July 1971
High-capacity mobile radio systems with large numbers of radio channels have been proposed to relieve the over-crowded conditions existing in mobile radio communications today. In order to make efficient use of frequency spectrum, radio coverage from base stations would be limited to small zones and channels would be reused several times within a particular urban area. 1 - 4 Figure 1 depicts such a channel-reuse situation along a single line of base stations. Computer control of such systems certainly would be necessary. Bounds on the behavior of simplified systems have been obtained previously 2 but the 1833 1834 THE BELL SYSTEM TECHNICAL JOURNAL, JULY-AUGUST 1971 F i g . 1 -- I l l u s t r a t i o n of c h a n n e l reuse.
