Abstract
A system ( ) provides a network designer with a mechanism by which to quickly optimize the load distribution in a wireless communication network ( ) by iteratively modifying the pilot power settings within an analysis session. The system ( ) determines a reverse interference level for the network ( ). The system ( ) then adjusts the pilot power level of each sector by an amount equal to the difference between a sector's reverse interference level and the network's reverse interference level. The system ( ) assigns, based on the adjusted pilot power levels, each wireless device ( ) in the network ( ) to a sector.
