Abstract
The maximum capacity of a CDMA cellular system’s radio interface depends on the time varying radio environment. This makes it hard to establish the amount of currently available capacity. The received interference power is the primarily resource in the uplink. Ability to predict how different resource management decisions affect this spatial quantity is therefore of utmost importance. The uplink interference power is related to the uplink load through the pole equation. In this chapter, we discuss both theoretical and practical aspects of uplink load estimation.
