SPREADING VOLUME OF TRAFFIC OVER DIFFERENT CONTROL CHANNELS

摘要

A system and process is described for spreading the volume of traffic over different control channels of a cellular radio transmission system. A base station having at least two control channels subdivides the number of mobile radio stations in a cellular area of the base station into groups, of a variable number of groups. The base stations transmit the number of groups and a group code on each control channel. The mobile stations receiving the transmitted information detect the number of groups and group code of each channel. The mobile radio stations will combine the number of groups and the received group code with the stored group number. The result of this combination determines the channel over which the mobile station control is to be assigned.
