Abstract:
A method of predicting a received power level at a base station receiving signals transmitted by users, called active users, assuming the admission of an additional user, called a candidate user, by said base station, as a function of a power level actually received by said base station, said method consisting in, assuming admission of said candidate user by said base station, taking into account an increase in the individual power levels of said active users; wherein the relationship between said power level {tilde over (P)}rxtot received by said base station assuming admission of said candidate user by said base station and said power level Prxtot actually received by said base station from said active users is of the form:{tilde over (P)}rxtot=&agr;.Prxtot where &agr; is a factor greater than 1 depending on the number of said active users, on coefficients characteristic of the type of service used by each of said active users and on a coefficient characteristic of the type of service required by said candidate user.
