Abstract
A method and system for allocating air interface resources in a wireless telecommunications network. A control entity determines the current or projected location of a mobile station. Using the location, the control entity identifies the physical sectors and respective carrier frequencies available to serve the mobile station. The control entity then selects an optimal physical sector and respective carrier frequency and instructs the mobile station to operate in the selected physical sector using the selected carrier frequency.
