Appeal No. 1999-0888
Application No. 08/061,228
Appellants' invention relates to a method for intracell
handover and channel allocation in cellular phone systems.
Claim 1 is illustrative of the claimed invention, and it reads
as follows:
1. A method of reducing interference in a radio
communication system having more than one mobile station and
more than one fixed station, said method comprising:
determining when a first call is interfering with a
second call; and
handing off the first call to another channel to reduce
interference in the second call when it has been determined
that the presence of the first call on the same frequency as
the second call causes the interference in the second call
despite the quality of the first call being of sufficient
quality to not warrant hand off.
