Cell-specific load control The load is caused by real-time (RT) and non-real-time (NRT) traffic as well as by interference from

other cells and backgroun The proportion between RT and NRT traffic varies all the time. The capacity left over from RT traffic is reserved for best effort During the radio network planning stage, the operator sets a number of thresholds for the radio resource management algor Since interference is a crucial and limiting factor in any CDMA system, load control measures both uplink and downlink powe Target threshold Target threshold (separately for the uplink and downlink) defines the optimal operating point of the cell load, up to which the
