METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLING ACCESS OF A SUBSCRIBER STATION TO A WIRELESS SYSTEM

摘要

A method for controlling access of a subscriber station to a wireless communications system facilitates the maintenance of a performance target of the reverse link and desired geographic coverage of the reverse link. The method for controlling access of a subscriber station to a wireless communications syst em includes measuring a first performance indicator and a second performance indicator f or a reverse link associated with a subscriber station seeking access to a wireless communications system. A blocking threshold value is established based upon the measured second performance indicator and may be adjusted to allow more or less blocking bas ed on any additional metrics that characterize the performance of the current subscrib er stations. The decision to grant or deny access of the subscriber station to the wirele ss communications system is determined based on a comparison of the measured first performance indicator to the established blocking threshold value.
