Abstract

Communication resources are allocated within a radio communication system in anticipation of expected resource requirements using predictions based on information supplied by a subscriber unit. In one embodiment, the system uses the subscriber unit's location history to predict a future location (510, 520, 530). In another embodiment, the system uses radio capability information, along with environment information for the subscriber unit, to predict loading conditions for potential hand-over sites (610, 620, 630), and assigns the subscriber unit to one of the potential hand-over sites based on the predicted loading conditions (640).
