A method and apparatus for providing wireless data packet call regulation
and call access for wireless Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP)
communications in a wireless network. A first and second time stamp is
generated upon the reception and successful transmission of a data
packet. A packet delay is determined based upon the first and second time
stamps. At least one average delay metric is used to determine whether to
provide new call access based on the at least one average delay metric.
Another aspect of the present invention is to block a class of users
based, in part, on the average sector delay for each user subscriber
class. If the average sector delay is greater than that allowed for a
class of users, users of that class are denied access. A delay quality of
service (QoS) block metric is used to determine if an individual user
should be force dropped.
