Abstract
A communication system is disclosed comprising a first base station operating a first cell and a second base station operating a second cell. The first base station determines that load should be offloaded from the first cell towards the second cell based on a comparison of respective measurement result of a first type obtained for the first and second cells. The first base station controls load balancing based on a second comparison of respective measurement result of a second type for each of the first and second cells, wherein a second condition, when met, indicates that the base station operating the second cell will not offload load to the first cell based on the respective measurement result of the second type for the first and second cells.
