METHOD FOR LOAD BALANCING IN A RADIO COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM AND APPARATUS THEREOF

摘要

Method and apparatus thereof for load balancing in a radio communications system (1000) having a plurality of access nodes, comprising the steps of: - two access nodes (100-1, 100-2) of said plurality exchange cell load information; - a first access node (100-1) having spare capacity and accepting load balancing requests from said second access node (100-2) modifies a transmit power ratio between a data channel and a control channel such that load balancing is accomplished by handing over at least one user terminal or UE (10) to the access node (100-1) or cell re-selection of at least one user terminal or UE (10) to the access node (100-1).
