Abstract

The present invention relates to a method and system for enabling a redistribution of load between cells. The method comprises obtaining a current load value for a first cell, and obtaining a target load value for a neighbor cell. The method also comprises determining the target load value for the first cell as a function of the current load value and the target load value for the neighbor cell, obtaining an update of the target load value for the neighbor cell, and iterating the determining and the obtaining. The method further comprises taking action for a redistribution of load between the first cell and the neighbor cell towards a load distribution represented by the resulting load values.
