LOAD BALANCING IN RELAY-ENHANCED ACCESS NETWORKS

摘要

There are provided measures for load balancing in relay-enhanced access networks with a relay device and multiple access devices, said measures exemplarily comprising the setting of multiple links between a backbone device of a backbone network and said multiple access devices, and a management of resource allocation of said multiple links between said backbone device and said multiple access devices in accordance with resource information of said multiple access devices indicating resource availability and resource assignment of said multiple access devices for establishing multiple connections between said backbone device and said relay device via said multiple access devices.
