Abstract:
A method of wireless communication. The method includes the step of broadcasting a message, such as channel list message, for example. The broadcasting message lists each available carrier for each available frequency band in the wireless communication spectrum - e.g., 400 MHz and about 2100 MHz. Each available carrier listed within the message may correspond with at least one cell of a coverage area. Moreover, each broadcast message comprises at least one occurrence for each available carrier. Each available carrier may also be repeated within the message a number of times corresponding to a carrier weighting. This carrier weighting in turn corresponds with a traffic load. Alternatively, the method may also include the step of repeating the broadcast of the message a number of times, wherein the number corresponds to a carrier weighting associated with the traffic load. The broadcast message may also comprise a listing of at least one service, such as voice and/or data, supported by each available carrier.
Abstract:
In the method, an overload control threshold is adjusted based on at least one outage metric (S10,S16) and an overload control history (S12). Overload control is performed based on the overload control threshold.

Abstract:
A method of wireless communication. The method includes the step of broadcasting a message (20), such as channel list message, for example. The broadcasting message lists each available carrier for each available frequency band in the wireless communication spectrum - e.g., 400 MHz and about 2100 MHz. Each available carrier listed within the message may correspond with at least one cell of a coverage area. Moreover, each broadcast message comprises at least one occurrence for each available carrier. Each available carrier may also be repeated within the message a number of times corresponding to a carrier weighting (110). This carrier weighting in turn corresponds with a traffic load. Alternatively, the method may also include the step of repeating the broadcast of the message a number of times, wherein the number corresponds to a carrier weighting associated with the traffic load. The broadcast message may also comprise a listing of at least one service, such as voice and/or data, supported by each available carrier. A hashing algorithm is performed to select one of the available carriers in the available frequency bands (30).
