Abstract
A method and apparatus for load balancing in CDMA/HDR networks. An access terminal is operably coupled to a plurality of access points. The access terminal monitors the quality of the forward communication links between the access terminal and the access points. The access terminal also monitors the capacity utilization of the access points. The access terminal then requests data to be transmitted to the access terminal from a selected access point as a function of the monitored quality of the forward communication links and the capacity utilizations.
