• An FDD telecommunications system that transmits the time frame in this way is, for example, the well-known GSM system [Groupe Speciale Mobile or Global System for Mobile Communication; see.

• the biggest difference between the GSM system, which has a frequency and time level and is operated in a coordinated, licensed mode, and the DECT system, which also has a frequency and time level, which operates in a 12 nem uncoordinated, unlicensed mode is the way in which the physical resource "channel" is assigned to the respective system subscriber or telecommunications subscriber.
• the channel allocation is controlled by a central entity, the network operator. This is possible because all the mobile stations within a radio area of a base station use the same time base, that is, they are operated synchronously. The synchronous operation allows a clear definition of time slot boundaries and thus a clear separation from different telecommunication participants. Adjacent base stations do not need to be operated synchronously, since the channels which are used in adjacent radio cells are generally separated by frequency planning in the frequency level. This type of channel allocation is referred to as "Fixed Channel Allocation (FCA)".
• FCA Fixed Channel Allocation
• the channels are first selected dynamically - "Dynamic Channel Selection (DCS)" - and then allocated.
• the frequency / time level serves both for “Dynamic Channel Selection (DCS)” and for channel allocation as a platform or “pool".
• DCS Dynamic Channel Selection
• the handset regularly monitors the frequency / time level and finally selects the frequency / time slot combination in which the transmission channel is least disturbed by interference.
• neighboring, uncoordinated operating base stations and mobile parts are always asynchronous and therefore the time bases run into one another or drift into one another, a situation often arises where the degree of interference reaches an unacceptable value.
