If the power control is slightly off, for a moment, under heavy load, the most critical handsets are lost, affects everyone. GSM/EDGE has the handsets more separated, isolated, more independent, one problematic handset cannot cause problems for everyone. Instead a problematic handset can be given "special treatment", neighboring time slots and channels (wich interfere the most) can be reallocated. Channels can also be moved from neighbouring cells to a crowded cell, like a rock concert or sports happening, conference.. (dynamic channel allocation within 7 or 4 cell clusters) -- The handset has to forward and reverse the timing, position of it's TX time slot so that all time slots arrive non-overlapping to the basestation, which tells them what tot do. This is also the inherent way of measuring the distance, one tick is, if I remember right, 200m. (it was obviously not designed for location, just to synchronize the time slots for far and near handsets) Ilmarinen
