Abstract

A method of reducing interference within a cellular system (10) by partitioning a designated frequency spectrum within a service coverage area (.0.1, .0.2, or .0.3) into a first and at least second spectrum inclusive of the designated frequency spectrum, each with an associated power level, and offsetting the spectrums for each TDM frame under the control of an offset number unique to each TDM frame. Assignment of communication units to a spectrum and power level are based upon distance from the base site (as determined through signal strength measurements). The spectral content of spectrums in adjacent service coverage areas is adjusted to include non-coincidental frequencies.
