A method for dynamically varying the allocation and distribution of a base
station's resources in response to fluctuations in demand for services.
The method includes transmitting a status signal from a base station to a
base station controller over an I.sub.ub interface. The status signal may
correspond to the demand of the base station's transmit power for a data
transmission service, such as HSDPA, and for at least another service,
such as a dedicated voice channel. In response to receiving the usage
information signal, the base station controller may vary the transmit
power of the base station allocated for HSDPA and/or for the dedicated
voice, data and/or both integrated voice and data channel. In response to
receiving users' status information for HSDPA services, the base station
controller may vary its call admission status for HSDPA and/or dedicated
voice, data and/or both integrated voice and data users.
