In this step, particularly, the corresponding Yi Ge of each eNB community, the cell load state broadcast that this eNB sends comprises the load-threshold value of the current load value He Gai community of this community.ENB can be according to detecting the current load value that obtains this community, according to the default load-threshold value that obtains this community.ENB can periodically send this cell load state broadcast.For example, eNB sends cell load state broadcast one time every 5 seconds, detects the current load value that obtains Gai community comprising current time.Or eNB can also be according to Event triggered, send this cell load state broadcast.For example, increase the event that represents that cell load changes, in the time that the load of community corresponding to eNB changes, send cell load state broadcast by this Event triggered eNB.Or eNB can also, periodically sending on the basis of this cell load state broadcast, send this cell load state broadcast according to Event triggered further.For example, increase the event that represents that cell load changes, in the time that the load of community corresponding to eNB changes, send cell load state broadcast by this Event triggered eNB.Still send a cell load state broadcast as example in the concrete mode periodically sending as every 5 seconds, eNB has sent one time cell load state broadcast at the 5th second, subsequently, at the 7th second, eNB detects that the load of community changes, and sends a cell load state broadcast at the 7th second according to Event triggered, subsequently, at the 10th second, eNB sent cell load state broadcast one time again according to the transmission cycle.
Fig. 6 is the cell load state broadcast structural representation of the embodiment of the present invention three.As shown in Figure 6, in this cell load state broadcast, at least comprise following field: cell-of-origin identification field, DAF destination address field, load information field.Wherein, identification field instruction in cell-of-origin sends the mark of the community of this message; It is broadcast that DAF destination address field is indicated this message; The instruction of load information field sends the load condition of the community of this message, comprises the load-threshold value of the current load value He Gai community of this community.Comprise on the basis of cell-of-origin identification field, DAF destination address field and load information field in cell load state broadcast, further, in cell load state broadcast, can also comprise TTL.Whenever this message is through once forwarding, the value of the TTL in this message just subtracts 1, in the time of TTL=0 in message, abandons this message.In embodiments of the present invention, the initial value of TTL is set to 1.
Step 402: the cell load state broadcast that the eNB of the eNB reception of neighboring cell of Serving cell sends.
Through above-mentioned step 401, the eNB of each community all sends cell load state broadcast to the eNB of neighbor cell separately.In step 402, the cell load state broadcast that the eNB of the eNB reception of neighboring cell of Serving cell sends, i.e. the first cell load state broadcast.Wherein, the cell load state broadcast that each eNB sends comprises the load-threshold value of the current load value of the community that this eNB is corresponding and community corresponding to this eNB.In embodiments of the present invention, in Fig. 5, taking community 1 as Serving cell as example.
Step 403: the eNB of Serving cell is according to the load-threshold value of the current load value of Serving cell and Serving cell, the load capacity to be transferred of calculation services community.
In this step, the eNB of Serving cell is according to detecting the current load value that can obtain Serving cell, according to the default load-threshold value that can obtain Serving cell.In the time that current load value is more than or equal to load-threshold value, transship this Serving cell, need to carry out MLB, and eNB is according to the current load value of Serving cell and load-threshold value, deducts load-threshold value by current load value, obtains load capacity to be transferred.In the time that current load value is less than load-threshold value, does not transship this Serving cell, does not need to carry out MLB, and eNB process ends, needn't carry out subsequent step.In the embodiment shown in fig. 5, with Δ 1represent the load capacity to be transferred of community 1.
After step 403, the eNB of Serving cell selects the load capacity to be transferred of Serving cell and the current load value sum of neighbor cell to be less than the neighbor cell of the load-threshold value of this neighbor cell, as candidate cell, this process specifically comprises the following steps 404 and step 405.
Step 404: the eNB of Serving cell selects a neighbor cell.
In this step, particularly, the eNB of Serving cell can, according to the ascending order of current load value, select a neighbor cell from whole neighbor cells of Serving cell.Or the eNB of Serving cell also can select at random a neighbor cell from whole neighbor cells of Serving cell.
Step 405: the eNB of Serving cell is added the current load value of the neighbor cell of the load capacity to be transferred of Serving cell and current selection, and compares the load-threshold value of addition result and this neighbor cell.
If above-mentioned addition result is less than the load-threshold value of this neighbor cell, execution step 406, using this neighbor cell as candidate cell.
If above-mentioned addition result is more than or equal to the load-threshold value of this neighbor cell, execution step 411.
Step 411: the eNB of Serving cell judges whether to exist unselected neighbor cell.
If so, return to step 404, the eNB of Serving cell selects a neighbor cell from unselected neighbor cell, then performs step 405.
If not, execution step 412.
Step 412: the eNB of Serving cell finishes this MLB process.
Through above-mentioned steps 404, step 405 and step 411, when addition result in step 405 is less than the load-threshold value of this neighbor cell, the eNB of Serving cell chooses a candidate cell from neighbor cell, the load-threshold value current load value of this candidate cell and the load capacity to be transferred of Serving cell and that be less than this candidate cell.Or, through above-mentioned steps 404, step 405, step 411 and step 412, candidate cell all can not be served as in whole neighbor cells of Serving cell, be the load-threshold value current load value of each neighbor cell and the load capacity to be transferred of Serving cell and that be all more than or equal to this neighbor cell, the eNB of Serving cell finishes this MLB process.After step 412, the eNB of Serving cell can be waiting for after Preset Time, or after random wait a period of time, again initiate MLB process, starts to re-execute from step 402.
In the embodiment shown in fig. 5, select neighbor cell to sue for peace and be judged as example so that community 1 is random, the neighbor cell of community 1 comprises community 9, with L 9represent the current load value of community 9, the eNB of community 1 calculates Δ 1+ L 9and, and judge Δ 1+ L 9addition result whether be less than the load-threshold value of community 9.In the embodiment shown in fig. 5, with Δ 1+ L 9the load-threshold value that is less than community 9 is example, and community 1 is using community 9 as candidate cell.If Δ 1+ L 9be more than or equal to the load-threshold value of community 9, the process of above-mentioned summation and judgement is continued other neighbor cell to carry out in community 1, and for example, other neighbor cell can adopt community 5 or community 6 etc.
Step 406: the eNB of Serving cell, using this neighbor cell as candidate cell, reports cell ID, the current load value of candidate cell and the load capacity to be transferred of Serving cell of candidate cell to network manager.
In this step, the addition result that the eNB of Serving cell obtains the judgement in this step 405 is less than the neighbor cell of load-threshold value of this neighbor cell as candidate cell, reports the cell ID of this candidate cell, current load value and the step 403 of candidate cell to calculate the load capacity to be transferred of the Serving cell obtaining to network manager.In the embodiment shown in fig. 5, the eNB of community 1 is to cell ID, the current load value of community 9 and the load capacity Δ to be transferred of community 1 of network manager reporting subdistrict 9 1.
After step 406, the to be transferred load capacity corresponding with candidate cell, the current load value of candidate cell and the load-threshold value of candidate cell that network manager reports according to default load transition strategy, whole eNB judge, particularly, enter following steps 407.
Step 407: network manager calculates the to be transferred load capacity sum corresponding with candidate cell that whole eNB report, load capacity sum to be transferred and the current load value of candidate cell are added, obtain the load estimated value of candidate cell, and the load-threshold value of load estimated value and candidate cell is compared.
If the load estimated value of candidate cell is less than the load-threshold value of candidate cell, execution step 408, determines that the candidate cell that the eNB of Serving cell reports is Target cell, returns to positive acknowledgement message to the eNB of Serving cell.
If the load estimated value of candidate cell is more than or equal to the load-threshold value of above-mentioned candidate cell, network manager can adopt any one in following two kinds of processing modes.
If load transition strategy is: can not overload after the load that this candidate cell requires to shift at the eNB that has shifted whole communities, can adopt mode one: network manager directly performs step 409, return to negative acknowledgment message to the eNB of Serving cell.
If load transition strategy is: this candidate cell can not overload after the load of having shifted the eNB of Serving cell and the eNB of other a part of community requirement transfer, can adopt mode two: network manager, according to the to be transferred load capacity corresponding with above-mentioned candidate cell that all eNB reports, further judges.Particularly, in the time that the load estimated value of candidate cell is more than or equal to the load-threshold value of above-mentioned candidate cell, the detailed process of employing mode two comprises: the first step: network manager is to report whole eNB composition reference set of the to be transferred load capacity corresponding with candidate cell.Second step: network manager deducts the maximum load capacity to be transferred that the eNB in reference set reports from the load estimated value of candidate cell, obtain the load estimated value after upgrading, from reference set, deduct the eNB of the load capacity to be transferred that reports this maximum, the load estimated value after upgrading and the load-threshold value of candidate cell are compared.If the load estimated value after the renewal of candidate cell is less than the load-threshold value of candidate cell, carry out the 3rd step.If the load estimated value after the renewal of candidate cell is more than or equal to the load-threshold value of candidate cell, return to execution second step.Network manager is carried out second step again, from the load estimated value of current candidate cell, deduct the maximum load capacity to be transferred that the eNB in current reference set reports, obtain the load estimated value after again upgrading, from current reference set, deduct the eNB of the load capacity to be transferred that wherein reports this maximum, the load estimated value after again upgrading and the load-threshold value of candidate cell are compared.The 3rd step: whether the eNB that judges the load capacity to be transferred that reports this maximum is the eNB of above-mentioned Serving cell.If so, execution step 409, returns to negative acknowledgment message to the eNB of Serving cell.Otherwise execution step 408, determines that the candidate cell that the eNB of Serving cell reports is Target cell, returns to positive acknowledgement message to the eNB of Serving cell.

Step 408: network manager determines that the candidate cell that the eNB of Serving cell reports is Target cell, returns to positive acknowledgement message to the eNB of Serving cell.
In this step, network manager returns to positive acknowledgement message to the eNB of Serving cell, and this message is indicated for the eNB to Serving cell: the candidate cell that the eNB of Serving cell reports is Target cell.After step 408, execution step 410.
Step 409: network manager returns to negative acknowledgment message to the eNB of Serving cell.
In this step, network manager returns to negative acknowledgment message to the eNB of Serving cell, and this message is indicated for the eNB to Serving cell: the candidate cell that the eNB of Serving cell reports can not be served as Target cell.After step 409, execution step 411.
