Claim 4:
5. A first base station, comprising:
a transceiver; and
a controller,
wherein the controller is configured to:
control the transceiver to send, to a second base station, a resource status request message indicating whether load measurements are to be reported at a periodicity; and
control the transceiver to receive in accordance with the resource status request message, a resource status update message for reporting results of the load measurements, wherein

in a case where the resource status request message includes information of the periodicity, the resource status request message indicates the results of the load measurements are to be reported at the periodicity,
in a case where the resource status request message does not include the information of the periodicity, the resource status request message indicates the results of the load measurements are to be reported once, and
the periodicity indicates averaging window length for a measurement object.
