The channel load functionality was implemented in the QualNet simulation tool, and several scenarios were configured for testing. The effects of different numbers of active systems with different traffic patterns were examined. The results obtained indicate significant variation in channel load values calculated by different stations experiencing different levels of interference. This variation leads us to question the usefulness of a single channel load measurement; hence considerable care must be taken when using and interpreting such measurements.application/pdfeng©AuthorsRadio Resource MeasurementChannel Load Reportconference proceedingsTelecomunicacionesopen accessICT-MobileSummit 2008 Conference Proceedings
