1. A method for balancing uplink (UL) bandwidth utilization in a relay assisted cellular network, comprising: obtaining scheduler context data associated with one or more mobile users/devices connected to the relay assisted cellular network; computing static and dynamic load values of data packets coming from the one or more mobile users/devices using the obtained scheduler context data; and balancing UL bandwidth utilization between the one or more mobile users/devices and a base station in the relay assisted cellular network using the computed static and dynamic load values.
