    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for improving call quality and capacity by integrating a dynamic channel allocation technique into an intelligent antenna system. The intelligent antenna systems includes beams which are grouped into sets, wherein each set has associated a long list and a primary short list, and each beam has associated a secondary short list. In one embodiment, long term interference levels are measured on each beam in a set of beams for a plurality of communication channels to produce the long list; short term interference levels are measured on each beam in the set of beams for a portion of the plurality of communication channels to produce a plurality of secondary short lists and the primary short list; and communication channels are assigned to a mobile-station from the portion of the plurality of communication channels based on the measured short term interference levels on each beam in the set of beams. The long list and the primary short list are based upon highest measured long and short term interference levels, respectively, for each of the plurality of communication channels across each beam in the set of beams.

    Abstract: A method is described for partitioning the mobile stations occupying each of a plurality of cells of a wireless communication network between an overlay and an underlay. Within each cell, each of that cell's mobile stations is assigned to the overlay if the mobile station's corresponding path loss exceeds a path-loss threshold, and to the underlay if its corresponding path loss lies below the path-loss threshold. The path-loss threshold for each cell is determined according to a procedure that seeks to drive network capacity up while satisfying a rule that relates to intercell interference.
