ABSTRACT:
A "load based priority" telecommunications system and method which provides efficient use of Traffic Channels (TCHs), while both meeting the subscriber's needs and producing revenue for the cellular operator. "Load based priority" for the mobile subscribers consists of assigning a priority to the subscriber at the time of service activation. The subscriber can pay a low rate for lower priority subscriptions and a higher rate for higher priority subscriptions. The system continuously checks the traffic load on the TCH and broadcasts the current priority in the system information message to the mobile stations in the cell. For example, if the system broadcast message reads low priority, then all mobile subscribers will be able to make calls. However, if the system broadcast message reads high priority, then mobile subscribers who have purchased a lower priority subscription will not be able to make calls.
