Abstract

A system for measuring a rise-over-thermal (RoT) characteristic in a communication network includes controlling a transmitting station to maintain its transmit power at a substantially constant level for a first time interval, and measuring a first received power level. The transmitting station is then controlled to adjust its transmit power by a selectable amount for a second time interval, and a second received power level is measured. The first and second received power levels are then processed to determine the RoT characteristic.
