Method and apparatus for controlling communication system capacity

DWPI Title: Forward link communication capacity controlling method for code division multiple access based cellular communication system
Abstract: Forward link communication capacity of a communication system, which is providing from a base station to a number of mobile stations a number of forward communication links corresponding to the plurality of mobile stations, is controlled by receiving gain setting associated with at least one of the forward communication links, comparing the gain setting with a gain threshold, and adjusting a first encoding rate of at least one of the forward communication links to a second encoding rate based on the comparing. A gain offset attunes the gain threshold to update the gain threshold according to a latest condition of the communication system. The gain offset further is used to determine blocking of an incoming call to the communication system.
Use: For controlling forward link communication capacity of code division multiple access based cellular communication system.
Advantage: The frequency of frame erasure of the forward link due to its pool frame error rate is reduced thereby prevents involuntary dropping of calls.
Novelty: The forward link communication capacity of communication system is controlled by receiving gain setting (102) associated with one of the several links. This gain setting is compared with gain threshold (123) The encoding rate of one of the several links are adjusted to other encoding rate based on the comparison result.
