Uplink load control including individual measurements
First Claim
1. A method of facilitating wireless communications, comprising:
- determining a first portion of an uplink interference associated with at least one first user controlled by a scheduler based upon measurements from at least the one first user that indicate a data-chip energy to total interference ratio and a traffic to pilot ratio; and
determining a second portion of the uplink interference associated with at least one second user not controlled by the scheduler based upon measurements from the at least one second user that indicate a data-chip energy to total interference ratio and traffic to pilot power ratio.

Abstract
A technique is disclosed for determining values of different portions of a total uplink interference, which can be used for scheduling and load control at a base station, for example. A disclosed example includes obtaining measurements from individual users and using those measurements to determine corresponding portions of a total uplink interference at the base station. One portion is associated with users that are controlled by a scheduler for that base station. Another portion is associated with users that are not controlled by that scheduler. Determining each of the portions individually and using a received total wideband power measurement allows for determining each of the major portions of the total uplink interference at a base station.
