Abstract
In a method for managing resources in a base station in a code division multiple access cellular communication, a resource shortage of a selected resource in a first base station is detected. Next, a subscriber unit having a communication link with the first base station is selected. Thereafter, a handoff direction message is sent to the selected subscriber unit to cause a second base station to contribute the selected resource, wherein the resource shortage in the first base station is alleviated. Resources that may experience shortages in the first base station include transmit power and available user spreading codes.
