摘要:
A method includes receiving a request from a mobile station (102) to initiate a call session with a base station (104). After receiving the request, the base station determines that it cannot process the call session with the mobile station because the base station is fully loaded and sends a busy indication to the mobile station in response to determining that it cannot process the call session. The method can also include sending a scan response to the mobile station indicating a load for a neighboring base station (106) to the base station and handing over the mobile station to the neighboring base station.

A method is provided for allocating initial ranging opportunities in a series of frames. According to the method, a number of initial ranging opportunities are allocated in frame N that occurs after a triggering event, and k frames after frame N the number of initial ranging opportunities is selectively reduced. The triggering event is one of system startup and broadcast of an Uplink Channel Descriptor message. Also provided is a base station that includes a controller for allocating a number of initial ranging opportunities in frame N that occurs after a triggering event. The controller selectively reduces the number of initial ranging opportunities k frames after frame N. The triggering event is one of system startup, broadcast of an Uplink Channel Descriptor message, broadcast of a page message, or broadcast of a signature for an overhead configuration message.
