Abstract
In one non-limiting, exemplary embodiment, a method includes: estimating an activity factor for a priority class based at least in part on a provided bit rate for the priority class and a guaranteed bit rate of the priority class; and using the estimated activity factor to estimate at least one network-related parameter. In another non-limiting, exemplary embodiment, a method includes: obtaining a measurement for a priority class; and estimating an activity factor for the priority class based at least in part on the measurement and a quality of service attribute of the priority class. As a non-limiting example, exemplary embodiments of this invention employ a framework providing an estimation of effective activity factor per service priority indicator (SPI) class to provide, for example, enhanced quality of service awareness in radio resource management functionality, such as for estimation of the amount of power used per SPI class/group.
