Method and apparatus for using virtual noise figure in a wireless communication network

摘要

A method and a corresponding apparatus for wireless communication are described, the method comprising determining (714) a loading parameter indicative of loading at a base station (120, 122), determining (716) a loading indicator for the base station (120, 122) based on the loading parameter and a virtual noise figure for the base station (120, 122) and transmitting (718) the loading indicator to terminals (110).
