Embodiments disclosed herein relate to methods and systems for providing adaptive server selection in wireless communications. An access terminal may be configured to determine a forward link quality metric associated with each of a plurality of sectors serviced by a plurality of access points; assign credits to each sector in relation to the forward link quality metric; and change a data source control (DSC) value if the credits accumulated for a non- serving sector at a DSC change boundary is greater than a predetermined threshold, where the non-serving sector and the serving sector for the access terminal belong to different cells. The access terminal may be further configured to change a data rate control (DRC) cover in accordance with the DSC change. The use of DSC may provide an early indication of handoff, thereby allowing the service outage associated with server switching to be substantially reduced.

L'invention porte sur des procédés et systèmes de sélection adaptative de serveurs dans des communications sans fil. A cet effet, on configure un terminal d'accès pour: déterminer un métrique de qualité de liaison aval, associé à chacun des secteurs desservis par plusieurs points d'accès; attribuer des crédits à chaque secteur en relation avec ledit métrique de qualité; et modifier la valeur du contrôle de source des données (DSC) si les crédits accumulés pour un secteur non desservi à la lisière d'une modification du DSC dépassent un seuil prédéterminé alors que le secteur non desservi et le secteur desservi du terminal d'accès appartiennent à différentes cellules. On peut en outre configurer le terminal d'accès pour modifier la couverture du contrôle de débit de données (DRC) en fonction des modifications du DSC. L'utilisation du DSC peut fournir une indication précoce d'un transfert, ce qui permet de réduire sensiblement les pannes des services associées à la commutation du serveur.
