US Patent 8150411 Method for efficient radio resource management

An improved admission control procedure for an admission control entity (e.g., Radio Network Controller (RNC), Node B, etc.) in a network that admits a terminal (mobile station, user equipment, etc.) having a certain receiver performance. Without improperly assuming one receiver performance or referring to a reference minimum receiver performance to calculate the resources that will be used, more accurate radio resources that should be used by the terminal when admitted to the cell can be determined by using appropriate information about the receiver performance of the terminal to be admitted.
