Scheduling Of Time Slots In A Fixed Wireless Access Network

Abstract: ABSTRACT SCHEDULING OF TIME SLOTS IN A FIXED WIRELESS ACCESS NETWORK Radio resource is allocated to a subscriber module in a fixed wireless access cellular wireless system comprising an access point (1) and a plurality of subscriber modules (2a – 2m) at static locations, each subscriber module having a directional antenna aligned with the access point, and the area of coverage of the access point having a plurality of sectors (4a, 4b, 4c), each sector being served by a respective radio transceiver of the access point. The same frequency allocation is allocated to each sector, the radio resource for each sector being allocated as a plurality of time slots (t1, t2, t3, t4) each having the same frequency allocation. A suitability of the subscriber module for time slot re-use is determined based on a first criterion. If is suitable for time slot re-use based on the first criterion, time slots are allocated for communication to the subscriber module that are also allocated to an adjacent sector.
