Method and apparatus estimating cell interference and noise for CDMA packet data channels

摘要

A method and apparatus for communicating data signals using a spread spectrum cellular network, the cellular network including a plurality of base stations coupled to the cellular network the mobile unit assigned to one of the plurality of base stations. The method and apparatus receives a signal of another of the plurality of base stations (target base station) and determines the interference density to the target base station from the received signal.
