The invention relates to a method of implementing a handover in a cellular
radio system. The cellular radio system has at least on cell (Cd) which
comprises at least two subcells and in which all available frequencies are
dynamically used. The cellular radio system comprises in each cell (C, Cd)
at least one base station (BTS) which communicates with subscriber
terminals (MS) located within its area. A handover from an old cell to a
new cell (Cd) applying dynamic channel allocation is characterized in that
only BCCH carrier frequency time slots comprising control channels are
transmitted all the time in all subcells of the cell(Cd). The method
allows traffic channels of a BCCH carrier frequency to be dynamically
reused in subcells of the cell (Cd), providing the improved system
capacity.
