Abstract:
A method for load control, the method being used in a digital radio system comprising at least one base station (20) and a subscriber terminal (21 and 22) which communicate with each other by transmitting and receiving signals which are desired signals (23) and/or interferences (23, 13), characterized byforming signal-specifically one or more desired signal-to-interference ratios (70);forming a combined load result (52) of the signals by proportioning one or more desired signal-to-interference ratios (70) with corresponding signal bandwidths (71) and data transmission rates (72);comparing the load result (52) with a threshold value (53), which is a predetermined measure for the highest load level allowed, whereby, when the load result (52) and the threshold value (53) substantially differ from one another;the load is balanced by changing the telecommunication rate.
