Abstract
Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processing system including a processor, perform operations comprising: identifying a first plurality of cells as a controlled group of cells; determining, for each cell of the controlled group of cells, an average number of allocated physical resource blocks; determining, for each cell of the controlled group of cells, a total number of physical resource blocks available to carry payload traffic; determining, for each cell of the controlled group of cells, a metric equal to: (a) the average number of allocated physical resource blocks of the cell divided by (b) the total number of physical resource blocks of the cell available to carry payload traffic; and performing a load balancing of the controlled group of cells based upon the metric. Other embodiments are disclosed.
