Abstract
Average local traffic load in a simulcast radio system is estimated to achieve efficient resource sharing and dynamic reconfiguration of the simulcast areas. A method for estimating the average local traffic load uses relative power measurements at each radio port (or distributed antenna element). The estimating method is applicable to both code-division multiple access (CDMA) and time-division multiple access (TDMA) systems. The method provides accurate estimates of the actual radio port traffic over various system conditions, while requiring only an approximate knowledge of the radio propagation environment.
