Abstract

The method addresses problems of limited radio resources, in particular with respect to the frequency channels in GSM mobile radio systems and the requirement for a high resource utilization rate even in base stations with a low number of radio resources, and thus severe fluctuations in efficiency when additional radio resources are added. The method makes available additional radio resources and apportions them, as required, to a plurality of radio coverage areas of a base station. The utilization of the radio resources is thus improved with little additional outlay on circuitry.
