Abstract
A new call blocking threshold of one or more BTS forward links is adjusted to compensate for variation in traffic demand and, optionally, user mobility as well. Anticipated traffic demand from new calls and user mobility are derived from operational measurement data obtained and stored in a management and control system. The new call blocking threshold is adjusted with a frequency relating to the rate of change in traffic demand or user mobility.
