Abstract
A method of balancing user equipment traffic load between at least two cells supported by a base station in a wireless telecommunication network, a computer program product and network access node operable to perform that method. The method comprising: determining that an operational parameter of at least one of the at least two cells meets criteria indicative of an overload of user equipment traffic; transmitting a link parameter which indicates that establishment of a dedicated communication link with the base station within the at least one cell is unavailable to user equipment operating within the at least one cell without an established dedicated communication link. Aspects allow for early balancing of load within an overloaded network.
