Abstract
A method, network node and UE device (115) for wireless access control and load balancing among various access nodes (105, 110) in a radio access network that contains both base stations (105) and relay notes (110). A wireless UE device (115) receives a message containing at least one of the respective loads for a group of access nodes and weighting factors for possible connections. The device determines a preferred access node (325, 425, 525) using at least one of the respective loads and weighting factors and attaches to the preferred access node.
