TLDR
In this paper, a radio base station generates a congestion status flag, based on measured resource usage in its cell, and based on performance of sessions in the cell, indicating whether the base station is congested.
Abstract
A radio base station generates a congestion status flag, based on measured resource usage in its cell, and based on performance of sessions in the cell. The flag may be a one bit, or a small number of bits, indicating whether the base station is congested. The flag can be sent to neighbouring radio base stations, for use in determining whether to perform handovers to that radio base station. The flag generated in a radio base station, and the flags generated in neighbouring radio base stations, can also be sent to user equipment in a cell.
