Abstract:
Embodiments of the present application provide a load balancing method and a network control node. An entity in which a serving cell is located selects a scheduling cell for an edge UE, and instructs the scheduling cell to allocate a data channel for the edge UE, and a control channel is retained in the serving cell and is not handed over. In this way, in a case of being transparent to the UE, an objective of load balancing is achieved by automatic fast coordinating and scheduling without handover. It can be seen that, in the foregoing load balancing manner, a data channel is used as transferring granularity, and a handover time delay does not need to be introduced, thereby implementing a function of fast balancing instantaneous load, and improving load balancing efficiency.
Abstract:
A method for handover in a telecommunication system is disclosed. The method determines a traffic time pattern in a handover situation where a user equipment is handed over from a source cell to a target cell in the telecommunication system. History information relating to a traffic time pattern used in the source cell by the user equipment being handed over is forwarded from a controller node of said source cell to a controller node of said target cell. In the target cell, a traffic time pattern to be used by said user equipment in said target cell after the handover is estimated by taking into consideration at least said history information.
