1. A method of controlling a call in a code division multiple access, CDMA, system comprising the steps of:

  • receiving a call attempt request to be placed over a target cell of the CDMA system;

    calculating an effective load based on a measurement indicative of non-target cell interference or a number of calls in soft handoff with the target cell for the target cell;

    comparing the effective load to a threshold; and

    denying the call attempt request by sending a denial message if the effective load exceeds the threshold.
