Cross-Frequency Network Load Balancing

摘要

A base station that supports different sectors and co-located different frequencies across the different sectors in a CDMA network having an Access Terminal includes a processing unit which determines a load imbalance on a connection in a first sector at a first frequency. The base station includes a network interface unit through which the processing unit offloads traffic from the connection in the first sector at the first frequency to a first or second sector at a second frequency. A method for sending traffic with a base station that supports different sectors and co-located different frequencies across the different sectors in a CDMA network having an Access Terminal including the steps of determining with a processing unit a load imbalance on a connection in a first sector at a first frequency. There is the step of offloading with the processing unit through network interface unit traffic from the connection in the first sector at the first frequency to a first or second sector at a second frequency.
