A method of system access from a wireless device to a wireless network, the network having a plurality of base stations includes the steps of: selecting at least one reverse link cost metric from a list of predetermined reverse link cost metrics; (220) determining a reverse link cost according to the selected at least one reverse link cost metric; (220) selecting a candidate base station from the plurality of base stations; (230) sending a probe signal at the reverse link cost to the candidate base station; (240) waiting for a response from the candidate base station within a timeout period; (250) and repeating steps (280, 240, 250, 270) until timeout, or until the condition that a response is received from at least one candidate base station so that at least one candidate base station can be used to provide system access from the wireless device to the wireless network; increasing reverse link cost (300); and repeating the steps after (230) until either system access to the wireless network has been provided or the reverse link cost exceeds a predetermined link cost treshold (290).

Cette invention se rapporte à un procédé servant à fournir l'accès système depuis un dispositif sans fil à un réseau sans fil, lequel comprend plusieurs stations de base. Ce procédé consiste: à sélectionner au moins une mesure de coût de liaison retour dans une liste de mesures de coûts de liaisons retour; à déterminer un coût de liaison retour en fonction de la mesure de coût de liaison retour sélectionnée; à sélectionner une station de base candidate parmi plusieurs stations de base; à envoyer un signal de sondage au coût de liaison retour à la station de base candidate; à attendre une réponse de la part de la station de base candidate dans un certain délai; et à répéter ces étapes jusqu'à la fin de ce délai ou jusqu'à satisfaire la condition qu'une réponse soit reçue en provenance d'au moins une station de base candidate, pour qu'au moins une station de base candidate puisse être utilisée pour fournir l'accès système depuis le dispositif sans fil au réseau sans fil.
