Abstract

See full text

The present invention relates to a technique for efficient spectrum utilization in mobile radio systems divided into a plurality of geometrically-shaped cells (10-21). Mobiles (24) in each cell are served by at least one base station (30-40) comprising a directional antenna having a beamwidth corresponding to the overall area of the associated cell. Each base station communicates with mobiles within the associated cell using separate primary channels (C.sub.p) within a first portion of the system frequency spectrum when a mobile is not experiencing interference above a predetermined interference level, and switches a mobile to a separate secondary channel (C.sub.p) within a selected section (f.sub.1, f.sub.2, f.sub.3) of the remaining second portion (f.sub.i) of the system frequency spectrum when the interference at a mobile exceeds the predetermined interference level. Each selected section used in adjacent portions of adjacent cells being within a different frequency subband of the second portion.
