Pathloss-based uplink sector emissions model for lte aggregate interference prediction

A system for deriving a sector uplink power distribution, the system comprising:

• a cellular testbed configured to emulate User Equipment (UE) emissions from a plurality of UEs, wherein the emulating is performed over a collection interval, and wherein the emulating comprises:
• establishing a sector target uplink (UL) pathloss distribution for the plurality of UEs within a cellular sector, the establishing comprising:
• operating each of the plurality of UEs with an average pathloss that substantially matches the sector target UL pathloss distribution;
• and
• iteratively incrementally adjusting the pathloss of each of the plurality of UEs until matching the sector target uplink (UL) pathloss distribution;
• iteratively establishing a target network loading by incrementally adjusting network loading on the cellular sector while preserving the sector target UL pathloss distribution;
• and
• recording, after each iteration, the LE emissions of each of the plurality of UEs;
• and
• the deriving further comprising capturing, during the collection interval, the sector uplink power distribution by aggregating, based on the recorded UE emissions, UL pathloss distributions.
