1. A method for providing multiple grades of service in a code division multiple access base station, comprising:

  • identifying a demand for resources of a base station, on a condition that the demand exceeds a predetermined threshold;

    identifying a priority level of a user requesting allocation of bandwidth for transmitting data information to a base station depending on whether a previous historical usage of resources by that user exceeds a predetermined threshold, such that;

    on a condition that the previous historical usage by the user is higher than the threshold, the user is assigned a lower priority level for transmitting data information, the lower priority level entitling the user to use of fewer channels than otherwise allowed when a high priority level is assigned; and

    on a condition that the previous historical usage by the user is lower than the threshold, the user is assigned a higher priority level for transmitting data information, the high priority level entitling the user to use of more channels than otherwise allowed when a lower priority level is assigned;

    reserving bandwidth for users at the lowest priority levels and creating a lowest priority queue to allow at least some access for users with the lowest priority; and

    allocating bandwidth to a user depending upon the corresponding priority level so identified on a condition that the resources requested of the base station exceeds the predetermined threshold.
