Abstract

In a TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) wireless communication system, mobile stations are sorted according to their PV (Protocol Version), and packed by an enhanced FRP (Frequency Re-Packing) function or an enhanced IDCS (Interference Driven Channel Selection) function so mixing of mobile stations with different PVs on the same carrier will be avoided as far as possible. This allows mobile station capabilities to be used with greater advantage, in situations where a protocol or other performance feature used on a carrier must be compatible with the least capable mobile station on the carrier. In a broader sense, the mobile stations can be sorted and then allocated based on any appropriate indicator of mobile station capability, for example PV, mobile station ESN (Electronic Serial Number), and so forth. In this way, a common capability of all mobiles on the same carrier, can be maximized for some or all carriers within a cell. Thus, an overall efficiency or performance level of the mobile system can be enhanced or maximized.
