Abstract:
A method and system are provided for managing a radio access network (RAN). The RAN defines one or more wireless coverage areas (WCAs) to serve one or more mobile nodes (MNs). Each MN requests data from the RAN at a requested forward-link data rate and the RAN transmits data to the MN at an actual forward-link data rate.For each WCA, an average of the actual forward-link data rates, an average of the requested forward-link data rates, and an RF-link utilization is determined. The RF-link utilization of the WCA is determined by dividing the average actual forward-link data rate of the WCA by the average requested forward-link data rate of the WCA. The RAN is managed by scheduling the addition of one or more carrier frequencies to one or more WCAs, where the scheduling is based on the RF-link utilization of the WCAs.
