Abstract: A wireless communications system includes access networks and access terminals. Within each cell or cell sector, reverse links and forward links are defined between an access network and multiple access terminals in the cell or cell sector. Based on a reverse data rate threshold value calculated from noise measurements, the access network indicates to access terminals within its cell or cell sector whether activity on reverse links are to be increased or decreased.

Abstract: An ANC is formed to “dummy fill” a neighbor list that is to be transmitted to a mobile terminal that is presently located in a border cell with neighboring BTSs for which a hand-off request cannot be granted. Accordingly, while a hand-off cannot occur to a BTS of a proximate cell that does not qualify as a neighbor because it is serviced by a different ANC in a 1xEVDO network, identifying the BTSs of the non-neighbor and proximate cells (“dummy list BTSs”) prompts the mobile terminal to request a hand-off to a dummy list BTS when the BTS provides a better pilot signal. Because the ANC can readily identify the BTS from the dummy list, it knows that a hand-off cannot be facilitated therefor. Accordingly, the ANC instructs the mobile terminal to drop the call (data packet connection).

Abstract: A method, system and program product which improves the QoS and GoS of voice and data traffic on an integrated communications network. An RF spectrum allocation application/algorithm provides initial allocation of a percentage of available spectral resources to current voice and data traffic. Each allocated percentage is bounded by a sliding window, which adjusts its location based on the changing need for the resources. Thus, a voice sliding window dynamically adjusts its location to provide additional spectral resources to voice traffic when the voice traffic increases and provides less spectral resources when the voice traffic decreases. Likewise, a data sliding window dynamically adjusts its location to provide additional spectral resources to data traffic when the data traffic increases and provides less spectral resources when the data traffic decreases. The size of each window is determined by input parameters.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method and system for performing a handoff in a wireless communication system including receiving a communications signal from a mobile unit. The communications signal includes a phase offset from a pilot signal from one of the neighboring base station transceivers. A handoff process to one of the neighboring base station transceivers is then initiated and an ambiguity is detected by determining whether the phase offset from the pilot signal is in two neighbor search windows for two neighboring base station transceivers. If the ambiguity is detected, the search window for an active set of neighboring base station transceivers is widened so that the mobile unit can identify the pilot signal with the correct base station transceiver. If the ambiguity is detected, the hand off process is paused until the mobile unit can analyze all of the pilot signals from the neighboring base stations.
