LOAD BALANCING IN A NETWORK AND BETWEEN NETWORKS

摘要

The specification and drawings present a new method, apparatus and software related product (e.g., a computer readable memory) for load balancing in a network (e.g., LTE wireless network) and between networks based on reselection priority and/or a level of congestion. The embodiments of the invention describe different options to move the UE to another cell which may be in the same or in a different RAT, to avoid congestion and/or overloading of the network. This will help to avoid subsequent RRC connection reject messages being sent to the UE from the congested cell.
