The invention provides for the management of wireless resources, which can reduce call blocking by allowing high priority services, under suitable conditions, to use resources allocated to low priority services. Thus high priority services can pre-empt the usage of wireless resources by low priority services. This has the advantage of reducing call blocking for high priority calls, while permitting low priority calls to have more access to radio resources than conventional systems with the same call blocking rate. Thus a base station can implement a preemption mechanism that would reclaim Walsh Code and Forward Power resources from an active Supplemental Channel (SCH) burst in order to accommodate incoming Fundamental Channel (FCH) requests.
A base station comprising:
A method of allocating wireless resources at a base station comprising:
A method of allocating resources between delay sensitive services and non delay sensitive services, comprising:
A computer-readable storage medium comprising a program element for execution by a processor within a base station, the program element comprising computer-readable program code for comparing resource usage with available resources to determine whether sufficient resources are available for an incoming high priority service, and if insufficient resources are available for said incoming service, pre-empting a low priority service in order to make sufficient resources available.
