Abstract:
1. A method comprising: monitoring uplink and downlink interference parameters on at least one specified component carrier used by a base transceiver station of a communication network; determining a communication information set indicating an uplink load measure for each of the at least one specified component carrier, the communication information set comprising information elements based on the monitored interference parameters and on transmission power values; and providing the information elements of the communication information set in a quantized format, wherein each of the quantized information elements indicates a preset range of values of a totality of values estimated, wherein the determining further comprises: executing an estimation of an average aggregated uplink transmit power density for each of the at least one specified component carrier, wherein the estimation of the average aggregated uplink transmit power density is based on at least one of information aggregated from user equipments served by the base transceiver station, and power control parameter information stored in the base transceiver station.
