Method For Improved Load Balancing In Communication Systems

摘要

Various methods are provided to address the need for improved load balancing. In a one method, a packet loss is determined (101) for traffic sent between a first network node and a second network node. The determined packet loss is then used to determine (103) whether to perform load balancing. In another method, a first network node receives a request from a neighboring network node for a current loading status of the first network node. The first network node sends to the neighboring network node an indication of a backhaul loading level of the first network node.
