Abstract
A method and a device for estimating a communication load, as well as a radio station and an upper-level apparatus in a radio communication system, are provided that can estimate a communication load in a target network with high accuracy by using received quality information. A communication load estimation function () for estimating a communication load in a network (NW) estimates the communication load in the network by using at least a first quality indicator (Q), which is a quality measurement value including entire received power, and a second quality indicator (Q), which is a quality measurement value including the signal-to-noise-and-interference ratio of a reference signal.
