Abstract
In a TDMA cellular system, there is provided a mechanism for splitting the allocation of time slots within a TDM frame between adjacent coverage areas. There is provided a method of and apparatus for time-allocation of TDMA channels. It comprises: periodically allocating some portion of a carrier of radio traffic to one coverage area during one time interval and periodially allocating some other portion of that same carrier to another coverage area during a substantially non-overlapping time interval, all in time synchronism with any proximal reuse of that carrier. The distribution of channels in adjacent coverage areas thereby approaches parity and the minimum channel capacity per coverage area is enchanced.
