METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR REVERSE LINK OVERLOAD DETECTION

摘要

A detector is used to sample of set of power measurements of a receive signal. The receive signal may comprise one or more signals from remote users as well as interference. A variance of the set of power measurements is also determined. The variance is compared to an overload threshold value. If the variance exceeds the overload threshold value, for some period of time, the system is declaraed to be operating at a potentially unstable point. In this state, future connection originations are denied.
