Abstract
A radio resources management algorithm, through a process of function evaluation and optimization, determines and assigns resource priority values to wireless resource requests. Resource requests may be arranged within a priority queue in accordance with the priority values. The priority queue may control access to wireless resources that are typically reserved for handing off ongoing calls between cells. The algorithm may supplement or replace an existing CAC algorithm. The algorithm may also determine whether sufficient spare handoff resources are available to fulfill a resource request. If sufficient resources are not available, the disclosed algorithm may implement one or more congestion control mechanism designed to free up handoff resources. If sufficient resources are not available to fulfill a resource request, the resource request may be accepted and arranged in the priority queue if it is of sufficiently high priority, or may be rejected if the request is of low priority.
