Communication load estimation system, information processing device, method, and program

A computer-implemented communication load estimation method executed by an information processing device, which is connectable to a wireless terminal or a wireless communication unit, comprising:

• calculating a provisional communication load of a wireless base station by using a first quality measurement value and a second quality measurement value;
• deriving a number of antennas used by the wireless base station for signal transmission, based on the provisional communication load;
• selecting a first formula, from among two or more formulae used for signal transmission of the wireless base station, based on a number of antennas indicated by a network parameter;
• and
• calculating, based on the selected first formula, a communication load of the wireless base station to be an object of estimation, using at least:
• the derived number of antennas;
• the first quality measurement value, which is a measurement value concerning a quality of communication with the wireless base station and which includes at least total received power;
• and
• the second quality measurement value, which is a measurement value concerning a quality of communication with the wireless base station and which includes at least a signal to interference noise ratio of a reference signal.

A non-transitory computer readable recording medium in which a communication load estimation program is recorded, the communication load estimation program for causing a computer to perform:

• calculating a provisional communication load of a wireless base station by using a first quality measurement value and a second quality measurement value;
• deriving a number of antennas used by the wireless base station for signal transmission, based on the provisional communication load;
• selecting a first formula, from among two or more formulae used for signal transmission of the wireless base station, based on a number of antennas indicated by a network parameter;
• and
• calculating, based on the selected first formula, a communication load of the wireless base station to be an object of estimation, using at least:
• the derived number of antennas;
• the first quality measurement value, which is a measurement value concerning a quality of communication with the wireless base station and which includes at least total received power;
• and
• the second quality measurement value, which is a measurement value concerning a quality of communication with the wireless base station and which includes at least a signal to interference noise ratio of a reference signal.
