Method and apparatus for estimating reverse link loading in a wireless communication system. In the present invention, the reverse link signals are passed through notch filters such that no energy (or energy of negligible amounts) is transmitted in these areas of the reverse link frequency band. At the base station, the unloaded cell energy is estimated by measuring the energy in the areas where the reverse link signals are notched. The in band energy is then compared to the energy in the notched portions of the reverse link band and based on this ratio cell capacity is determined.
