Abstract

See full text

A cellular communication system is capable of supporting local access points with shorter communication ranges than macro cells within which they are positioned. When a user wishes to send a communication a request is sent to an access point. At the access point a determination is made as to whether or not the maximum capacity of the access point has been reached. If maximum capacity has been reached then a rejection signal is sent to the user equipment and the communication is redirected into the macro cell in which the access point is positioned.
