Abstract
Method in and network node (700; 140a, 111a, 131a, 110a-c, 130a-c) of a wireless communications system (100a-c), for managing radio traffic load in a first cell (115a-c). The first cell (115a-c) is served by a first base station (110a-c) and is at least partly is covered by a second cell (135a-c) served by the first base station (110b) or a second base station (130a,c). Information is obtained (201, 601) about a future load of radio traffic in the first cell (115a-c). The future load is associated with a first group of wireless devices (120a-d) and generation of the future load is in response to an occurrence of a future event. It is then provided (202, 602), based on the obtained information, a change of serving cell so that at least one wireless device (121a) of a second group of one or more wireless devices (121a-b) being served in the first cell (115a-c) by the first base station (110a-c), instead become served in the second cell (135a-c).
