Abstract
According to an aspect, there is provided a network node for performing video on demand equalization. Upon receiving downlink traffic to be transmitted to one or more terminal devices, the network node detects a VOD stream from the downlink traffic. The network node determines the number of VOD streams handled by the cell and a first traffic load and compares the number of the VOD streams and the first traffic load to a first and a second threshold. In response to the number of the VOD streams being above the first threshold or the first traffic load being above the second threshold, the network node selects a terminal device associated with one of the VOD streams, selects a target cell from available cells and schedules the terminal device to use the target cell for said one of the VOD streams.
