Abstract

Mobile devices are assigned to their correct base stations after taking into consideration interference from all other mobile devices. The resulting assignments are more efficient than previous assignments. In addition, transmit power levels are assigned after each mobile device is assigned to a base station. The assigned power levels allow for more efficient use of power during the transmission of data signals.
