Abstract:
1. A method comprising: providing service to at least one mobile station on a carrier in a wireless coverage area using a first reverse-link frame-error-rate (RFER) target; calculating a reverse noise rise (RNR) value for the carrier in the wireless coverage area; selecting a second RFER target based at least in part on the calculated RNR value; and providing service to at least one mobile station on the carrier in the wireless coverage area using the second RFER target, wherein selecting the second RFER target based at least in part on the calculated RNR value comprises: comparing the calculated RNR value with a threshold RNR value; if the calculated RNR value is less than the threshold RNR value, selecting the second RFER target to be less than the first RFER target; and if the calculated RNR value is greater than or equal to the threshold RNR value, selecting the second RFER target to be greater than the first RFER target.
