1. A method of determining a wireless system capacity, the method comprising the steps of:

  • determining a reverse noise floor;

    obtaining a plurality of forward code domain measurements and corresponding reverse noise measurements;

    analyzing the obtained measurements so as to obtain a plurality of data values, wherein the plurality of data values includes (i) a plurality of data values that indicate a number of active users, and (ii) for each data value that indicates a number of active users, a data value that indicates a corresponding reverse noise rise (RNR); and

    determining a maximum number of users such that a probability of exceeding a predetermined RNR is below a threshold, wherein the probability is determined from a ratio of a number of the measurements having an RNR below the predetermined RNR to a number of measurements corresponding to those at or below a specific number of active users.
