Abstract:
1. A method of wireless communication comprising: evaluating a reverse link loading by examining at least two resources within a first time period wherein the evaluating includes selecting at least a first threshold by which at least a first of the at least two resources is evaluated, based on the examination of at least a second of the at least two resources, wherein evaluating further comprises at least one of: examining the at least two resources in use and examining the at least two resources leftover, wherein the at least two resources examined comprise at least one of a sector loading; total interference, received signal strength indication rise, per-leg and per-call frame error rate, physical channel erasure statistics and distributions, filtered loading estimate, transmit power and power control outer-loop set point compared to received Ecp/Nt, wherein evaluating a reverse link loading comprises computing the sector loading by measuring energy in a pilot signal over total noise, DRC values, channel gain and used Walsh code space and the received signal strength indication rise corresponds with a total received power at a sector, with a noise floor and with at least the first threshold, which varies to minimize adverse control reactions; and broadcasting an availability of resources message in response to the evaluated reverse link loading.
