The invention relates to a method for load control and a radio system. In the invention a load result describing the load is cell-specifically formed. The load result is formed either by comparing a signal strength of desired signals (23) and a combined total strength of interferences (13) and the desired signals (23) or by weighting a signal-to-interference ration with a bandwidth or a data transmission rate. The load result is compared with a threshold value of the highest load level allowed of a cell (1). The data transmission rate in the cell (1) is increased if the load result is smaller than the threshold value. The data transmission rate in the cell (1) is reduced and the establishment of new connections is avoided if the load result exceeds the threshold value. In heavy load situations a signal-to-interference objective is also changed in order to balance the load result.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. A method for load control, the method being used in a digital radio system comprising at least one base station (20) and a subscriber terminal (21 and 22) which communicate with each other by transmitting and receiving signals which are desired signals (23) and/or interferences (23, 13), characterized byforming signal-specifically one or more desired signal-to-interference ratios (70);forming a combined load result (52) of the signals by proportioning one or more desired signal-to-interference ratios (70) with corresponding signal bandwidths (71) and data transmission rates (72);comparing the load result (52) with a threshold value (53), which is a predetermined measure for the highest load level allowed, whereby, when the load result (52) and the threshold value (53) substantially differ from one another;the load is balanced by changing the telecommunication rate.
