Abstract
A system reduces the number of blocked and abandoned calls in a wireless communication system. A cell site receives a call from a wireless station and determines that no available resources exist. In response thereto, the blocked cell site sends a retry message to the wireless station to redirect the call back to the originally blocking face of the cell site.
