Abstract
A method is described comprising: defining a base station congestion condition; detecting that the congestion condition is met with respect to a first base station and allocating a wireless device to an alternate base station instead of the first base station in response to the congestion condition being met, as long as RSSI measured from the alternate base station is above a predetermined alternate base station threshold (“ABT”) value.
