Abstract:
1. A method for operating a base station (BS) in a wireless communication system, the method comprising: selecting at least one base station neighboring on the base station; and determining a power level and a handover terminal set including at least one terminal to be handed over from the base station to the neighboring base station based on an average load in the base station and the neighboring base station, wherein the average load is determined based on a number of overload users from among a first group of users serviced by the base station and a number of overload users from among a second group of users serviced by the neighboring base station wherein the average load is determined based on a first load value, a second load value and a third load value with respect to power controlled by the base station, wherein the first load value represents a number of overload terminals from among remaining terminals excepting terminals to be handed over from the base station to the neighboring base station from among the first group of terminals serviced by the base station, wherein the second load value represents a number of overload terminals from among a second group of terminals serviced by the neighboring base station, and wherein the third load value represents a number of terminals expected to be overloaded in the neighboring base station from among terminals to be handed over from the base station to the neighboring base station.
