<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide efficient techniques for signalling measurements between base stations. <P>SOLUTION: A mobile communications system is described in which base stations communicate with each other using a Master/Slave protocol to exchange load balancing information. The load balancing information can be used to control handover of mobile devices among neighbouring base stations and/or neighbouring cells. The Master base station requests the Slave base station to provide a load status report for the Master base station either at a defined time or periodicity or in response to certain events. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
