A wireless communication system is able to balance load in a wireless network based on radio frequency (RF) utilization, signal strength, quality of signal (QoS), and other measures. The load may be dynamically moved to other wireless access points within the wireless network based on the amount of load on one or more of the access points and on the measures. As such, at different load conditions, the system can change the methods of how to determine which access point should handle a communication session. Further, the system provides methods for proactively adjusting the load in the wireless network before any one access point reaches its capacity.

A communication system is provided that can control which communication sessions with mobile devices are admitted to a wireless access point. The admission decisions are based on actual measurements of radio frequency (RF) utilization. The RF utilization is determined on a per access class basis. Access classes may be defined by protocol but are, generally, voice, video and data. Thus, the system provides the ability to determine admissions that allows for the incorporation of factors including collisions, the distance from the access point to which a mobile device is communicating, and other factors.
