ABSTRACT:
To mitigate the adverse affects of the load imbalance phenomenon prevalent in spread spectrum, multi-carrier wireless communication systems, the system beneficially employs the use of handoff as a means for balancing the call traffic (commonly referred to as "load") among a plurality of carriers within the communication system. The multi-carrier wireless communication system monitors a plurality of metrics corresponding to the loading of each of the plurality of carriers in the communication system and, based upon the metrics, will handoff call traffic to and between the plurality of carriers, thereby mitigating the adverse effects associated with the load imbalance, in accordance with the invention.
