Abstract
A next generation wireless data network and method for handing off a mobile node is presented. The network includes a core network (CN) coupled to a plurality of radio access networks (RANs). The RAN servicing the mobile node examines overload factors in the wireless data network while the CN examines admission capabilities to neighboring RANs. The wireless data network determines a traffic situation of the neighboring RANs and admits a new user to one of the neighboring RANs based on results of the examinations and the determination.
