Abstract
A technique is disclosed for traffic management in spread spectrum wireless telecommunications systems using different admission control levels different frequency layers. In an embodiment of the invention, the capacity on a first frequency, having a specific admission control level, is permitted to increase to the point where the development of coverage holes occurs due to the effects of cell breathing are present. This is compensated for by maintaining a designated frequency that is free from coverage problems by applying a stricter admission control relative to the first frequency. Thus calls or new access attempts affected by coverage problems on the first frequency are diverted to the designated frequency. The method improves overall network capacity and call quality in the network by more efficiently utilizing spectral resources.
