1. A method of determining capacity of a resource in a wireless communication network having a base station serving one or more wireless remote stations, comprising:

  • recording level of usage of an air-link resource of the base station by wireless remote stations, during each of a plurality of intervals;

    recording a base station power level of communications signals associated with the air-link resource of the base station, during each of the plurality of intervals;

    performing a linear regression on data points of the recorded levels of usage and the recorded power levels, to calculate a regression line of usage versus power for the air-link resource;

    identifying a power limit parameter associated with the air-link resource; and

    projecting a maximum usage capacity from a usage level on the regression line corresponding to a power level equal to the power limit parameter associated with the air-link resource.
