Method and system for admission control in a broadband wireless network

A system for implementing admission control in a wireless network, the system comprising:

• a hardware processor;
• and
• a memory storing instructions for execution by the hardware processor, wherein the hardware processor is configured by the instructions to:
• receive a Random Access Channel Preamble (RACH-Preamble) from a mobile device;
• determine whether signal characteristics associated with the RACH-Preamble exceed predetermined threshold values;
• transmit a first response to the mobile device when the signal characteristics associated with the RACH-Preamble exceed predetermined threshold values;
• receive a Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection request from the mobile device after transmitting the first response;
• determine an establishment cause of the RRC connection request;
• determine whether signal characteristics associated with the RRC connection request exceed predetermined threshold signal characteristics associated with the establishment cause;
• and
• process the RRC connection request based on determining whether signal characteristics associated with the RRC connection request exceed predetermined threshold signal characteristics.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions which when executed by a processor enable the processor to execute a method of implementing admission control in a wireless network, the method comprising:

• receiving a Random Access Channel Preamble (RACH-Preamble) from a mobile device;
• determining whether signal characteristics associated with the RACH-Preamble exceed predetermined threshold values;
• transmitting a first response to the mobile device when the signal characteristics associated with the RACH-Preamble exceed predetermined threshold values;
• receiving a Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection request from the mobile device after transmitting the first response;
• determining an establishment cause of the RRC connection request;
• determining whether signal characteristics associated with the RRC connection request exceed predetermined threshold signal characteristics associated with the establishment cause;
• and
• processing the RRC connection request based on determining whether the signal characteristics associated with the RRC connection request exceed predetermined threshold signal characteristics.
