A system (200) provides a network designer with a mechanism by which to quickly optimize the load distribution in a wireless communication network (100) by iteratively modifying the pilot power settings within an analysis session. The system (200) determines a reverse interference level for the network (100). The system (200) then adjusts the pilot power level of each sector by an amount equal to the difference between a sector's reverse interference level and the network's reverse interference level. The system (200) assigns, based on the adjusted pilot power levels, each wireless device (140) in the network (100) to a sector.
