Abstract

It is described a method for changing the data load distribution within a telecommunication network including a first base station, a second base station and a relay node being connected to the first base station and/or to the second base station. The described method includes (a) establishing for each of a plurality of user equipments a first indirect connection to the first base station via the relay node, (b) establishing in a collective manner for each of the plurality of user equipments a second indirect connection to the second base station via the relay node, and (c) terminating in a collective manner for each of the plurality of user equipments the first indirect connection. It is further described a network element, which is adapted to carry out the above described data load redistribution method, and a computer program, which is adapted for controlling the above described data load redistribution method.
