Abstract
A system and corresponding method of controlling switching between different types of channels in a cellular communications system (e.g., wideband CDMA). Timer timeout values (i.e., timer lengths) and/or buffer thresholds, used in determining if and when to switch from one type of channel to another for a given user connection, are chosen and/or dynamically adjusted based upon at least estimated or measured traffic load in a cell in which the user is located.
