Dynamic load balancing during message processing in a wireless communication service network

摘要

A system and method for performing dynamic load balancing during system operation between a pair of APs (AP pair) serving at least one cell in common. A first RCS instance runs as an active RCS instance on one member of the AP pair and a second RCS instance runs as a standby RCS instance on the other member of the AP pair. The first RCS instance is redesignated as a standby RCS instance for the cell and the second RCS instance is redesignated as an active RCS instance for the cell. Active message processing is then transferred from the first RCS instance to the second RCS instance during network operation and without service interruption to the cell.
