1. A method comprising:
setting a retransmission rate threshold within a wireless network;
monitoring a retransmission rate within the wireless network;
comparing the monitored retransmission rate to the retransmission rate threshold; and
restricting wireless device access to at least one selected area within the wireless network when the monitored retransmission rate meets the retransmission rate threshold, wherein the at least one selected area is characterized by a corresponding range of signal performance parameters and the at least one selected area is characterized by higher pathloss than other network areas.
