Abstract

A method for controlling the admission of a call into a service area. The method includes the steps of selecting a non-negative integer N; selecting a real number p, lying between 0 and 1 inclusive; admitting a call when N-2 or fewer channels are occupied; blocking the call with a probability p when N-1 channels are occupied; and blocking the call when N or more channels are occupied.
