Patent ID: 8843154

Claim:
A method for implementing load redistribution, comprising: when a mobile switching center (MSC) node in a MSC pool needs load redistribution, the MSC node sequentially performing paging processing on user equipments (UEs) in a visitor location register of the MSC node according to a set paging rate and distributing a Temporary Mobile Subscriber Identity (TMSI) including null network resource identifier (Null-NRI) and a non-broadcast location area identity to UE that returns a paging response, thereby achieving the load redistribution of the MSC node; wherein the visitor location register of the MSC node comprises identification information indicating whether the load redistribution is performed on each UE or not, wherein the identification information indicating whether the load redistribution is performed or not is configured by the MSC node in a process of the UE initiating a location update or attach request; and before the step of the MSC node performing the paging processing on each UE in the visitor location register, the method further comprises: according to the identification information indicating whether the load redistribution is performed or not, the MSC node judging whether the load redistribution is performed on UE or not, and only performing the paging processing on the UE on which the load redistribution is not performed.
