The power level of at least one forward-link signal is determined for a measurement interval, where the measurement interval has a duration smaller than or equal to the time period in which at least one power-indicative signal characteristic can change. For example, a power-indicative signal characteristic used can be the information rate of the signal, which can change once per frame. In this case the measurement interval would be smaller than or equal to a frame. Preferably, the measurement interval is smaller than the time period in which any of the power-indicative signal characteristics can change. The power level of the signal is based on the signal's power-indicative signal characteristics during the measurement interval. In one embodiment of the invention, the signal's power-indicative signal characteristics include the information rate, and the gain of the signal. The power-indicative signal characteristics can also include whether the information contained in a traffic signal is control information or voice and/or data information, whether the signal is setting up a call or is part of an established call, and whether the call is in a soft handoff.

When an overload condition is determined to exist at a base station in a wireless communications system based on the number of unsuccessful access attempts to access the system relative to the successful access attempts to access the system, the base station broadcasts a message to each mobile terminal within its coverage area that changes at least one access probe-related parameter associated with at least one of: the number, the frequency, and the power intensity of the access probes made by these mobile terminals as they attempt to establish access to the wireless network. By so limiting these access probes in some manner when an overload condition is present, the interference caused on the reverse link by many mobile terminals attempting access is reduced.

A method of wireless communication. The method includes the step of broadcasting a message, such as channel list message, for example. The broadcasting message lists each available carrier for each available frequency band in the wireless communication spectrum—e. g. , 400 MHz and about 2100 MHz. Each available carrier listed within the message may correspond with at least one cell of a coverage area. Moreover, each broadcast message comprises at least one occurrence for each available carrier. Each available carrier may also be repeated within the message a number of times corresponding to a carrier weighting. This carrier weighting in turn corresponds with a traffic load. Alternatively, the method may also include the step of repeating the broadcast of the message a number of times, wherein the number corresponds to a carrier weighting associated with the traffic load. The broadcast message may also comprise a listing of at least one service, such as voice and/or data, supported by each available carrier.

The input (and output) power of a multi-carrier amplifier can be controlled to allow the amplifier to operate at high RF power levels and still remain within a power rating profile. The amplifier (or amplifiers) power is controlled using an aggregate scaling factor. The aggregate scaling factor is generated from a plurality of amplifier scaling factors. Each amplifier scaling factor is generated based on a comparison of a time-averaged total power and a corresponding threshold.

The present invention provides a method for dynamically estimating noise floor by continuously updating a noise floor value based on the noise floor value and sampled receive strength indications. In an alternative, the noise floor may be updated based on sampled receive strength indications and the reverse link loading value. In yet another alternative, the noise floor may be updated based on sampled receive strength indications and a range relative to a reference noise floor value.

A method for determining rise over thermal for a base station in a wireless communications system is provided. The method comprises receiving a first and second diversity signal, measuring the signal strength of the first and second diversity signals, and estimating the noise floor for the first and second diversity signals. The signal strength rise is determined for the first and second diversity signals based on the measured signal strength and estimated noise floor of the first and second diversity signals respectively. The rise over thermal is then determined based on the determined signal strength rise of the first and second diversity signals.
