Abstract

A method for detecting and calculating the contribution by external jammer signals to the total power received by a reverse link of a communication system. The total received power for a reverse link is measured. Calculations of load estimates based on power rise due to background noise and total E /N are performed. The contribution of external jammer signals to the total power received is calculated from the load estimates. The ability to calculate the power level of external jammer signals for a certain reverse link allows a service provider to more efficiently use the capacity of the reverse link. An average of the calculated external jammer power level can be calculated over a period of time defined by the service provider of the communication system.
