A method for predicting the percentage of real-time a processor in a base station is being utilized (i.e., processor occupancy) based only on calling rates, given measured call control event (i.e., origination, termination, handoff, paging, registration, and locate rates) data for the base station. Constant ratios between the various call control events and the calling rates (e.g., originations+terminations) are determined for the base station. Given the actual time spent by the processor on each type of call control event and the constant ratios, the processor occupancy is accurately predicted using call originations+terminations or call origination rates as variables. The processor occupancy may be fixed at some value (e.g., 90%) and the calling capacity of the base station (i.e., the total number of call originations and terminations which will result in such processor occupancy) is determined from the determined relationship between processor occupancy and calling rates. This allows estimation of the number of users a base station may support prior to reaching a high processor occupancy threshold.
