Claim Text:
1. A method of wireless device communication, comprising: determining link budget parameters for an access node, the link budget parameters being stored in a link budget table at the access node; calculating a network access criteria based on the determined link budget parameters and a network access criteria offset value, wherein the network access criteria offset value is calculated based on a historical utilization pattern of at least one sector of the access node and applied to the calculated network access criteria; providing the network access criteria from the access node to a wireless device; re-calculating the network access criteria offset value based on mobility information of the wireless device received at the access node and applying the re-calculated network access criteria offset value to the network access criteria; comparing the re-calculated network access criteria offset value to a signal level of the access node and, based on the comparison, determining whether the signal level meets the re-calculated network access criteria; and when the signal level meets the re-calculated network access criteria, receiving a network access request at the access node from the wireless device.
