METHOD FOR CONTROLLING USER EQUIPMENT ACCESS, AND BASE STATION

摘要

Embodiments of the present invention provide a user equipment access control method and a base station, where the method includes: determining a use status of a radio resource of a low-transmit-power base station LPN, and providing a service for to-be-accessed user equipment according to the use status of the radio resource of the LPN. According to the present invention, an LPN may actively initiate a user equipment handover, to hand over user equipment served by another base station to the LPN. In an overloaded heterogeneous network, the foregoing technical solutions enable a fast and flexible user equipment handover, and can effectively balance load of a macro eNodeB and an LPN. In addition, the foregoing technical solutions can further effectively reduce signaling overheads, and improve network performance.
