Zusammenfassung:	A method and apparatus for determining available downlink bandwidth are described. The described aspects may include estimating an available link capacity of a cell for a user equipment. The described aspects may include estimating an available fraction of cell resources for the user equipment. The described aspects may include estimating available bandwidth of the cell for the user equipment as a function of the estimated available link capacity and the estimated available fraction of cell resources. Available bandwidth may be estimated for a cell in a Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) system when the user equipment is in an idle mode and/or a connected mode. Available bandwidth may be estimated for a cell in a Long Term Evolution (LTE) system when the user equipment is in an idle mode and/or a connected mode.
