Abstract
An embodiment of this invention provides a cell containing a first base station with conventional transceivers and base station facilities, and the antenna of a second base station facility; the first base station facility is made up of a group of base stations facilities where the equipment is integrated, but the second base station is a conventional local base station. A transceiver may have unused capacity and a caller with a low priority may not be assigned to the transceiver even though there is still room. This is due to the fact that the capacity is being kept available for a caller with a higher priority, since the assignments are based on priority. Traffic monitors are used by portable telephone providers to manage the traffic in every cell, so traffic can be assigned to the transceiver, based on the provider with the highest volume or according to a prearranged priority scale.
