Abstract

The present invention relates to systems and methods for allocating channels in a radiotelephone system wherein local estimation of interference for a potential new connection is achieved by measuring interference on the available downlink channels at a plurality of locations within a cell. The measurements can be made, for example, by already connected mobile stations, mobile stations which are not connected, fixed measurement stations or any combination thereof.
