ABSTRACT:
Apparatus and Method for Channel Request in a Wireless Communication System. The present invention provides a method to request channels in a wireless communication system in order to efficiently allocate channel resources by using channel function information about each transceiver. A method is provided in a wireless communication system which includes a communication link having a plurality of channels and a plurality of radio heads each having transceivers for connecting to mobile terminals. The method comprises defining a channel function for a transceiver of one of the radio heads, determining whether the transceiver requires a dedicated channel for the channel function, and, if the transceiver requires the dedicated channel for the channel function, requesting a channel for the transceiver. In another embodiment, the method further comprises determining if a channel on the communication link is available for the channel function, and, if a channel is available for the transceiver, assigning the channel to the transceiver.
