A wireless communication system wherein wireless infrastructure adapts
access parameters and manages channel resources based on detailed
reconnection information obtained from individual mobile stations. Mobile
stations transmit particular reconnection attempt status information to
the wireless infrastructure. The reconnection attempt status information,
along with the aggregate statistics of other mobile stations, is used by
the infrastructure to adapt access parameters to increase or decrease the
likelihood of successful access. This allows the infrastructure to tune
access parameters to particular mobile station information and it also
allows the infrastructure to provide better resource management for both
traffic channel assignments and access channel usage.
