*CURRENT PRICE IS xxx* Qualcomm is on the way to doing it by the look of this patent! They have a way of monitoring loading of a base station, which is the primary requirement for advising 'SPOT PRICE' customers that "FREE CALLING IS AVAILABLE NOW" or that Michael McGiver has hit a record home run, 'Babe' has gone berserk with thousands of fans phoning home to report the news so "CURRENT PRICE IS $10 PER MINUTE".

PATENT No: 5859838 ISSUE DATE: Jan-12-1999
Load monitoring and management in a CDMA wireless communication system
ASSIGNEE: Qualcomm Incorporated San Diego, CA
INVENTOR: Soliman; Samir S. San Diego, CA
OTHER DETAILS: Legal Rep: Miller; Russell B.
Application Date: Jul-30-1996
Application Number: 688453
Primary Examiner: Olms; Douglas W.
ABSTRACT:
A system and method for monitoring and managing the loading conditions in a CDMA wireless communication system. The system comprises a load monitoring device such as a CDMA mobile station connected to a data logging and processing device such as a diagnostic monitor. The monitoring device is placed within the service area of a base station. The monitoring device periodically initiates a call, is assigned to a traffic channel normally, and logs a power control parameter such as mobile station transmit power or the number of closed-loop power control commands received per unit time. From this information, the load monitoring device can infer the real-time traffic loading conditions of the base station. If the loading of the system exceeds a predetermined threshold, an alarm may be sent to the system management center in order to take some action to limit additional loading on the base station.

The action they will take to limit additional loading on the base station is a big price increase!!

Yayyy! Q!
