Abstract
In one embodiment, a method comprises monitoring network data associated with a cell of a communication network for one or more channel conditions, estimating total cell capacities for respective channel conditions based on the monitored network data, and estimating an available cell capacity based at least in part on the total cell capacity estimates and a portion of the monitored network data. The method may also include sending information derived from at least a portion of the network data to a server and receiving from the server total cell capacities for respective channel conditions, where the total cell capacities received from the server are used to estimate the available cell capacity. The method may further include sending the available cell capacity estimate to the server and receiving from the server an available cell capacity.
