Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention relate to a system and method for determining a capacity utilisation of at least one of a cluster [104] and a base station [102]. More particularly, the embodiments may disclose a method for determining the capacity utilisation by receiving at least one message from at least one user equipment [110], wherein the at least one user equipment [110] belongs to the at least one cluster [104] having at least one cluster identifier and the at least one message includes uplink data and downlink data of the at least one user equipment [110]; generating a capacity utilisation list for said at least one cluster [104]; updating the capacity utilisation list with the uplink data and the downlink data; and determining a capacity utilisation for at least one of the cluster [104] and the base station [102] based on the uplink data and the downlink data.
