Abstract

La présente invention porte sur un nœud de réseau d'accès radio et un procédé de partage de charge entre nœuds. Un état de connexion d'un utilisateur est récupéré après qu'une charge de contrôleur de réseau radio (RNC) a été récupérée, ce qui assure que l'utilisateur obtient la meilleure qualité de service. Le procédé consiste à : déclencher un processus de commutation pour commuter l'équipement utilisateur desservi courant vers un second RNC lorsqu'un premier RNC détermine que sa charge dépasse un premier seuil ; et après achèvement de la commutation, avertir le second RNC lorsque le premier RNC détermine que sa charge est inférieure à un second seuil, et ensuite déclencher, par le second RNC, un processus de commutation pour commuter l'équipement utilisateur de nouveau vers le premier RNC.
