ABSTRACT:
Balancing of loading of cells in a cellular mobile radio telephone system is performed by periodically determining the channel utilization of each cell, computing a representative voice channel occupancy level, and attempting to hand-off calls from cells with higher voice channels occupancy levels to adjacent cells with lower voice channel occupancy levels. Voice channel occupancy levels of cells are measured and compared with threshold values, and the results of the comparisons are used to direct cells to enter predetermined states. In one state, complete cell blockage is prevented by directing cells to hand-off calls to adjacent cells. In another state, voice channels are preserved for incoming hand-offs by directing the cell to deny access to mobile transceivers initiating new calls. Cells may assume a combined stage wherein both of these functions are performed simultaneously. Cells are selected as hand-off candidates for hand-offs initiated to more evenly distribute loading throughout the cellular system in accordance with cell state (i.e., voice channel occupancy level) and measured signal strength at the cells of the calls attempted to be handed off.
