    The CDMA/NC-PRMA protocol has been proposed to deal with multimedia traffic flexibly in mobile communications systems. The Load-Balancing (LB) method has been investigated for information slot assignment in CDMA/NC-PRMA systems. However, the LB method may be not effective in multi-cell environments due to inter-cell interference although this method is effective for single cell environments. In this paper, we propose new information slot assignment methods for multi-cell environments; a total reception power based assignment method and a signal to interference ratio (SIR) based assignment method. The former one assigns information slots based on the total reception power from both inside and outside the cell for each slot in the previous frame. The latter one predicts the SIR of receiving packets and assigns information slots to MSs only when predicted SIR exceeds the target SIR. The results of computer simulation show that the proposed schemes have superior transmission performance to the conventional scheme.
