A system with more throughput under the impact of network load in the neighboring sectors on the inter-cell interference in a cellular data network is proposed. The signal received by a user over the forward link in such a system contains interference from the neighboring base stations. The proposed scheme provides a more accurate estimate of the user SINR by taking better account of the contribution of inter-cell interference. It builds on top of the current SINR measurement scheme by using a combination of pilot measurement and traffic load measurement With the proposed scheme a mobile terminal reports an accurate SINR and the same is informed to the base station. Hence the base station increases the data rate and hence the mobile terminal receives a higher throughput. The scheme especially benefits the "poor" user, i.e., the users that receive low throughput because they are located far from the base station. In this paper we prove that the date rate is increased for the poor users if the inter cell interference is low and hence the increase in the throughput of individual 'poor" mobile users.
