Abstract
Admission control is performed on a forward link shared packet data channel based on the measured delay per unit of data transmitted on the channel or the data throughput on the channel. In another embodiment, statistical analyses of channel quality metrics received at a base station are compared to the data rate used to serve mobile stations on the packet data channel to perform admission control. In any case, admission control may be performed for a new call setup request, hard handoff or virtual handoff. Admission control may be performed independently for a plurality of Quality of Service (QoS) flow categories, such as real time, best effort, rate sensitive, or QoS categories defined by cost. Users may be allocated among QoS flow categories as necessary to maintain performance.
