Abstract
A method and apparatus for providing wireless data packet call regulation and call access for wireless Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) communications in a wireless network. A first and second time stamp is generated upon the reception and successful transmission of a data packet. A packet delay is determined based upon the first and second time stamps. At least one average delay metric is used to determine whether to provide new call access based on the at least one average delay metric. Another aspect of the present invention is to block a class of users based, in part, on the average sector delay for each user subscriber class. If the average sector delay is greater than that allowed for a class of users, users of that class are denied access. A delay quality of service (QoS) block metric is used to determine if an individual user should be force dropped.
