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.

Abstract:
The method of selecting one of the resources for servicing a call includes determining a load level and a relative load capacity for each of candidate resources. The relative load capacity is based on a ratio of each candidate resource load capacity and total load capacity of all candidate resources. The candidate resource is selected by a relative ranking based on multiplication of each resource with each respective load level and each relative load capacity determination.
Abstract:
To address the need for reducing audio overhang in wireless communication systems (e.g., 100 ), the present invention provides for the deletion of silent frames before they are converted to audio by the listening devices. The present invention only provides for the deletion of a portion of the silent frames that make up a period of silence or low voice activity in the speaker's audio. Voice frames that make up periods of silence less than a given length of time are not deleted.

Abstract:
During the course of a push-to-talk talkgroup wireless communication, decisions (21) are made regarding possible subsequent push-to-talk communication needs for the group. Based at least in part upon such decisions, a network location is identified (22) to provide talker arbitration support for this talkgroup. In one embodiment the identified network location can comprise a mobile station, such as a mobile station that comprises a member of the talkgroup. In a preferred embodiment, the talker arbitration capability is then assigned (24) to the identified network location.
Abstract:
To mitigate the adverse effects 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 (214) 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 (220) call traffic to and between the plurality of carriers, thereby mitigating the adverse effects associated with the load imbalance, in accordance with the invention.
Abstract:
A method of selecting one of a plurality of candidate resources (205, 206) in communication systems (100, 101) for servicing a call includes determining load levels (207, 208) and relative load capacities of candidate resources (205, 206). The relative load capacity is based on a ration of each candidate resource load capacity and total load capacity (207, 208) of all candidate resources (205, 206). The candidate resource is selected by a relative ranking of multiplication of each resource load level and relative load capacity.
