Abstract

Methods and apparatuses for load balance are disclosed. According to an embodiment, a first base station determines a first spatial distribution of terminal devices in a first cell of the first base station, based on measurement reports which are received from the terminal devices and comprise beam candidates suitable for serving the terminal devices. The first base station determines whether the first cell has a first area whose load needs to be offloaded, based on the first spatial distribution. When determining that the first cell has the first area, the first base station sends, to one or more neighboring base stations, an offload request comprising part of the first spatial distribution corresponding to the first area.
