Abstract
Abstract A radio system having frequency optimization, particularly a mobile radio telephone system having base stations and subscribers (low speed mobile stations or stationary stations) is provided. In order to avoid fluctuations and interruptions of the reception level, the invention provides that the reception level and/or transmission quality of all frequencies or channels or of a part of the frequencies or channels of the channels available in a base station are constantly measured in every subscriber station (mobile station or stationary station). The measured values are communicated to the base stations wherein the frequencies or channels are allocated to the subscribers based on the overall information so that an optimally optimum frequency or transmission quality is allocated to each connection.
