<p>In a mobile communications network (12), cell-clusters (45) are defined to include a multiplicity of cells (21). Wireless connections within the network (12) are classified based on actions taken for the connections when a radio congestion state is encountered. A cell-cluster controller controls admission of new cells to the cell-cluster, and admits or rejects the calls based on (1) the number of existing calls of each class in the cell-cluster, (2) the traffic characteristics including call holding time and hand-off rate of each class, (3) the quality of service (QOS) requirements of each class, and (4) the policy for scheduling or sharing different call classes at each base station of the cell-cluster.</p> |
