Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to a method and a device for estimating the available cell load in a cellular radio system. Background technique
[0002] Since the uplinks in Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) cellular radio systems are non-orthogonal, the so-called near-far problem must be dealt with, i.e., terminals close to the base station can easily overwhelm signals from terminals located at cell boundaries . In order to ensure coverage for terminals at cell borders, a limit is introduced on the total received power at the base station. A relative measure of total interference is rise over thermal (RoT) or noise rise, i.e., total interference relative to thermal noise, see Harri Holma, Antti Toskala, "WCDMA for UMTS--Radio Access For Third Generation Mobile Communications (with WCDMA over UMTS - Radio Access for Third Generation Mobile Communications), 3rd edition.
[0003] The total uplink interference can come from both intra-cell ...
