Abstract
A wireless communications network includes cell segments each having at least a first type wireless link and a second, different type wireless link. Network access equipment is able to hand off mobile stations between the first type and second type wireless links to balance the loading of the wireless links. In one example implementation, the first type wireless link is a 1×EV wireless link, and the second type wireless link is a 1×RTT or other CDMA 2000 wireless link. The carriers can be co-located within a common cell segment, or located within different cell segments.
