Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2020167198A1] Embodiments include methods, performed by a source node, for mobility load balancing (MLB) in a radio access network (RAN). Such methods include sending a resource information request, to a target node in the RAN, for information about resources, associated with the target node, that are usable for MLB operations in the RAN. The resource information request identifies at least one of the following: one or more first types of requested resource information; and one or more second types of resource granularity for which resource information is requested. Such methods include receiving one or more resource information reports, from the target node, including resource information according to one or more of the following: at least one of the first types, and at least one of the second types. Embodiments also include complementary methods performed by a target node, and source/target nodes configured to perform operations corresponding to such methods.
