Abstract:
1. A call acceptance control method in a mobile communication system including packet users and an associated packet switching system producing packet calls and other users and an associated circuit switching system producing other calls, the method comprising: connecting the packet users and the other users to provide multiple access calls with shared wireless resources; measuring a resource use condition based upon existing connections provided by the connecting step; restricting acceptance of new calls for connection in the connecting step when a value of said resource use condition measured in the measuring step exceeds a set call acceptance threshold value; calculating a correction value in accordance with a number of actively connected packet users of said packet switching system; and adjusting the restriction of said new call acceptance in accordance with said call acceptance threshold value in the restricting step by using the correction value calculated in the calculating step, wherein the restriction of said new call acceptance is adjusted by lowering said call acceptance threshold value in accordance with said calculated correction value.
