Abstract
In a communication network where a communication load imbalance is detected, the overburdened channels in the network are labeled congested to deter new-coming terminals from accessing such channels. In addition, messages are sent to selected terminals on the congested channels, commanding them to relocate from such channels to other uncongested channels. As a result, the load imbalance in the network is effectively reduced.
