It means that, the service request is much higher than an acceptable level in some cells, which may result in a high call-blocking probability. But in other cells of system there are still resources available to serve more users. How to avoid the imbalance to effectively improve the system’s resource utilization, this is the problem which load balancing need to solve. In this paper, first a new kind of event-trigger mechanism of cell load status information exchange between eNBs via X2 interface is presented, then based on this a novel load balancing algorithm in LTE systems is put forward. By adding the proposed load balancing method module in eNBs, eNBs can start corresponding load balancing procedure accurately according to the cell load status in real-time without any manual intervention. Simulation shows that the method is valid and it can increase the system throughput significantly compared with no load balancing and can decrease the network delay compared with conventional solution.
