    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for making handoff decisions in an access terminal which can support both best effort and QoS traffic, e.g., when operating in a best effort and QoS mode of operation, respectively, are described. The access terminal receives an indicator indicating the fraction of communications resources not utilized for QoS service and information indicating a number of best effort users being supported by the attachment point. During Qos mode operation, connections to attachment points which can support the access terminal's minimal QoS requirements are identified and then from among the identified set, the attachment point which can provide a connect supporting the most best effort traffic from the access terminal is selected. In best effort mode operation the access terminal selects the attachment point connection which will provide the greatest amount of throughput to the access terminal for best effort traffic.

    Abstract translation: 描述了在能够支持最佳努力和QoS业务的接入终端中进行切换决策的方法和装置,例如分别以尽力而为和操作模式操作时。 接入终端接收指示未被用于QoS服务的通信资源的分数的指标,以及指示由附接点支持的尽力而为用户数的信息。 在Qos模式操作期间,识别能够支持接入终端的最小QoS​​要求的连接点的连接,然后从所识别的集合中,选择能够提供从接入终端支持最尽力的业务的连接的连接点。 在尽力而为模式操作中,接入终端选择将为接入终端提供最大吞吐量的连接点连接以实现尽力而为业务。
