Abstract
A method for controlling the forward calls in a cellular radio telecommunication system, comprising the steps of: reading the transmission power of the BS measured by the BTU; comparing the transmission power with a first predetermined threshold value; storing the transmission power if the transmission power is higher than the first predetermined threshold value; calculating the digital gain power by using the digital gain assigned to a call to the BS; calculating the total transmission power of the BS according to the call by adding the read transmission power to the calculated digital gain power; and, limiting the call in response to the determination of comparing the total transmission power with a second predetermined threshold value.
