Abstract

Methods and apparatus for congestion mitigation in wireless communication networks are provided. The congestion mitigation can include assignment of a new user class, a mobile station identifier, a mobile station identifier and a reserved traffic channel and/or an alternative access channel in another wireless communication network. These congestion mitigation techniques can be employed for selected mobile stations when an activity on an access channel is above a threshold level.
