To improve efficiency, we allow a carrier in a TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) network to be shared by adjacent cells. This sharing of time slots is seriously hampered by the lack of synchronization in distinct cells. We study packing algorithms that overcome this obstacle by clustering calls. The results suggest that even simple greedy algorithms are nearly optimal, and that little extra performance can be gained either by allowing the rejection of calls or by repacking.
