Method for offloading a base station of a wireless cellular telecommunication network by nodes of the wireless cellular telecommunication network, the nodes being located in a cell of the base station, the nodes being base stations and/or pico base stations and/or home base stations and/or relays, the base station serving plural mobile terminals, at least one node serving at least one mobile terminal, characterized in that the method comprises the steps of: - obtaining, by the base station serving the mobile terminals, the virtual offloading capacity of at least a part of the nodes located in the cell of the base station serving the mobile terminals, the virtual offloading capacity of one node being determined considering that at least one neighbouring node of the node may serve a mobile terminal currently served by the node, the virtual offloading capacity being the amount of the node interfaces resources that could be freed if at least one mobile terminal served by the node is handed over to a neighbouring node or being the amount of mobile terminals that could be served if at least one mobile terminal served by the node is handed over to a neighbouring node or being the throughput that the node could provide if at least one mobile terminal served by the node is handed over to a neighbouring node, - determining, by the base station serving the mobile terminals, with which neighbouring node a handover of the mobile terminal served by one node has to be performed according to virtual offloading capacities, - performing (S803, S804), by the base station serving the mobile terminals, the handover of the mobile terminal served by said one node with the neighbouring node, - performing (S803, S804), by the base station serving the mobile terminals, a handover of at least one mobile terminal served by the base station to the node which served the mobile terminal handed over to the neighbouring node. - obtaining, by the base station serving the mobile terminals, the virtual offloading capacity of at least a part of the nodes located in the cell of the base station serving the mobile terminals, the virtual offloading capacity of one node being determined considering that at least one neighbouring node of the node may serve a mobile terminal currently served by the node, the virtual offloading capacity being the amount of the node interfaces resources that could be freed if at least one mobile terminal served by the node is handed over to a neighbouring node or being the amount of mobile terminals that could be served if at least one mobile terminal served by the node is handed over to a neighbouring node or being the throughput that the node could provide if at least one mobile terminal served by the node is handed over to a neighbouring node, - determining, by the base station serving the mobile terminals, with which neighbouring node a handover of the mobile terminal served by one node has to be performed according to virtual offloading capacities, - performing (S803, S804), by the base station serving the mobile terminals, the handover of the mobile terminal served by said one node with the neighbouring node, - performing (S803, S804), by the base station serving the mobile terminals, a handover of at least one mobile terminal served by the base station to the node which served the mobile terminal handed over to the neighbouring node.
