Abstract
The invention relates to communication systems and to systems and methods for implementing adaptive call control in such systems. Adaptive call control can determine what CPE to base station calls (connections) are allowed at any given time. Call control, coupled with precedence, can further determine what connections are suspended if less bandwidth is available than is currently committed. Multiple techniques are disclosed to select connections for suspension. These techniques include suspending enough connections through the affected CPE until there is enough bandwidth to meet the remaining commitment, randomly (or in a round robin fashion) choosing connection to suspend from the entire set of connection, and using precedence priority levels.
