PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and apparatus for user/base station signaling and load balancing across wireless networks.SOLUTION: In one embodiment, the method comprises: broadcasting, by a first base station in the wireless network, information indicative of a load of the first base station; receiving an association request from a user terminal for association with the first base station in response to the user terminal predicting a net throughput from the first base station being greater than a net throughput from a second base station to which the user terminal is currently associated; and determining whether to accept the association request while performing an association process for selectively allowing only a fraction of requests from user terminals to be associated with the base station.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 |
