Patent ID: 7957264

Claim:
A method for allocating a radio configuration (RC) type, wherein a first threshold value and a second threshold value are predefined and when a user initiates a call, the method comprises: calculating current utilization rate of power resource of a cell and comparing the current utilization rate of power resource with the first threshold value; calculating current utilization rate of Walsh resource of the cell and comparing the current utilization rate of Walsh resource with the second threshold value; and allocating an RC type corresponding to above comparison results to forward channels of the call; wherein allocating the RC type corresponding to the above comparison results comprises: if the current utilization rate of power resource of the cell is greater than or equal to the first threshold value and the current utilization rate of Walsh resource of the cell is smaller than the second threshold value, allocating RC3 to the forward channels of the call; if the current utilization rate of power resource of the cell is smaller than the first threshold value and the current utilization rate of Walsh resource of the cell is smaller than the second threshold value, allocating RC3 or RC4 to the forward channels of the call; if the current utilization rate of power resource of the cell is smaller than the first threshold value and the current utilization rate of Walsh resource of the cell is greater than or equal to the second threshold value, allocating RC4 to the forward channels of the call; and if the current utilization rate of power resource of the cell is greater than or equal to the first threshold value and the current utilization rate of Walsh resource of the cell is greater than or equal to the second threshold value, determining whether or not the current utilization rate of power resource is greater than a sum of the current utilization rate of Walsh resource and a configuration parameter and if yes, allocating RC3 to the forward channels of the call, and otherwise, allocating RC4 to the forward channels of the call.
