A wireless local loop system manages radio data transmission capacity and network resources shared by a plurality of subscriber stations by considering the type of connections desired to be created to the subscriber stations and the radio data transmission capacity, and in some cases QoS parameters, and network resources required for those connections. The subscriber stations include data and telephony ports and can include a subscriber utilization client (SUC) to assist in the management process. The SUC in each subscriber station communicates with a network utilization manager (NUM) to request network resources from the base station. The NUM determines the requirements, in data transmission capacity and/or QoS levels, for the desired connection and considers the utilization of the network resources at the base station, or sector of the base station, in determining whether to establish the desired connection. The NUM can consider the required level and a desired level of data transmission capacity and/or QoS levels and allocate resources for the connection according to either level, or therebetween. The SUC and NUM can prioritize the establishment of connections on an appropriate basis, including the type of connection, the parties to the connection, the revenue potential of the connection and the port for the connection at the subscriber station, etc.

A method of restricting mobility in a Wireless Mobile System for Wireless Local Loop applications. Although this method is applicable to all wireless technologies, it provides specific improvements to mobility restriction in CDMA systems. Mobility of a subscriber is restricted to a predefined set of cell (sectors) called the Home-cell Set or Home-sector Set of the subscriber. In CDMA this set consists of PN Offsets of all sectors in which handset is allowed to have service. A subscriber can make or receive calls till the time at least one cell in its Home-cell Set can support its calls. In CDMA systems the handset is allowed to have soft handoff with as many sectors as required till the time at least one of the Home-cells is in the Active Set of pilots for the handset. This method also has an option that allows calls that are setup in a Home-cell to continue beyond the boundaries of the Home-cell Set and it also allows emergency calls to be made from within the no-service cells.

A radio frequency transmission control apparatus for preventing an oscillation in a wideband wireless local loop terminal has a radio frequency transmitting unit for modulating a baseband transmitting signal to a WLL radio frequency band signal and transmitting the modulated signal via an antenna, and the radio frequency transmitting unit is divided into a radio frequency converting unit and a power amplifier unit in accordance with characteristics of each active element constituting the radio frequency transmitting unit. When a power is supplied to the radio frequency transmitting unit, the power is first supplied to the radio frequency converting unit so as to maintain the same at an operating state. After a predetermined time period has elapsed, the power is supplied to the power amplifier unit. When the radio frequency transmitting unit is cut off from a power, a cutoff of the power amplifier unit is performed prior to a cutoff of the radio frequency converting unit, to thereby prevent generation of an oscillation frequency in W-WLL terminal.

The use (call origination, call reception and/or communication (handoff)) of a CDMA-WLL (Wireless Local Loop) mobile station (location-limited mobile station) outside its registered areas is functionally prohibited. The registered areas are determined with regard to each CDMA-WLL mobile station and information concerning the registered areas is stored in a CDMA-WLL controller. For example, when a CDMA-WLL mobile station originated a call, a mobile services switching center refers to the CDMA-WLL controller and thereby searches for the registered areas of the CDMA-WLL mobile station, compares the registered areas with present location areas of the CDMA-WLL mobile station, and executes a connection establishment process for the CDMA-WLL mobile station if a match occurred in the comparison. By such functional location limitation of the CDMA-WLL mobile station, the differentiation between the CDMA-WLL mobile stations and ordinary (location-unlimited) mobile stations can be made properly, and the balance between the CDMA-WLL mobile stations and fixed (wired) telephone sets can be maintained appropriately.
