Abstract
The method comprising at least one wireless user terminal, UE, connected through a wireless network to a serving base station and a plurality of network cells, each one comprising a base station, said at least one wireless UE: estimating the cell loads of the serving base station and of the plurality of network cells by analysing a downlink air interface load; providing to said wireless network, information about the actual cell load estimation of said plurality of cells, and performing a network cell selection based on said estimated cell loads, wherein said cell selection is performed without any exchange of cell load between said plurality of network cells.
