Abstract
A dynamic distribution of traffic load across multiple carriers in a wireless communication system. The wireless communication system includes a Base Transmittal Station (BTS) and one or more Access Terminals (ATs). An arriving traffic flow is placed on the carrier pair preferably having the most excess capacity. It is determined whether the new traffic flow is symmetric or asymmetric, and whether it is a best effort (BE) or a delay sensitive (DS) flow type. A procedure is then selected and used to calculate a loading metric for each carrier pair, the new traffic flow being assigned to the carrier pair having the lowest metric.
