Appeal No. 1997-1373
Application No. 08/478,811
added claims would be subject to the existing rejection under
35 U.S.C. § 112, first paragraph. Accordingly, the rejection of
claims 19-23 is now before us on appeal.
The claimed invention relates to a method of allocating
radio channels among the base stations in a multi-base station
radio system. The allocation method utilizes a mathematical
model of the radio system derived from an analogy with a heat
bath having a plurality of immersed particles. The energy
content of the heat bath is gradually changed in order to
achieve an energy content which corresponds to an acceptable
interaction between the plurality of particles, thereby
determining an acceptable level of interference among base
stations of the radio system by minimizing the total energy of
the system.
Claim 19 is illustrative of the invention and reads as
follows:
19. A method of distributing channels between base stations and
a multi-base section radio system by analogy with a mathematical
model wherein said analogy determines a channel distribution
which has an acceptable level of inter-channel interference
wherein said mathematical model is based on a heat bath having a
plurality of particles immersed therein, said method comprising
the steps of:
