Abstract
A base station for use in a 1xEV-DV/DO wireless network that communicates with mobile stations in its coverage area. The base station comprises a handoff controller for receiving a Handoff Request message from a first mobile station attempting to hand off to the base station. In response to receipt of the Handoff Request message, the handoff controller determines whether the available resources in the base station exceed a predetermined minimum threshold. If the available resources exceed the predetermined minimum threshold, the handoff controller allows the first mobile station to be handed off to the base station. Otherwise, the handoff controller prevents the first mobile station from being handed off to the base station.
