Abstract
A method of load distribution between a first base station and a second base station determines in a user device, that the first and second base stations are simultaneously within range of the user device. The user device is set as a bridge. Load factors and available resources of each base station within range of the bridge user device are provided. A first, less loaded base station increases its power until the power of the first base station is within a predetermined range of the power of a second, more loaded base station.

15. A method of load distribution between a first base station and a second base station, comprising:
-
determining in a user device, that the first and second base stations are simultaneously within range of the user device, the first base station being less loaded than the second base station; setting the user device as a bridge for communicating load factors and available resources such that with the bridge at least one of the first base station, the second base station and the user device is provided with load factors and available resources of both the first and second base stations; and based on the load factors and available resources communicated via the bridge, deciding to increase power at the first, less loaded base station until the power of the first base station is within a predetermined range of a power of the second base station. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33)

34. A method of load distribution between a first base station and a second base station, comprising:
-
determining in a user device, that the first and second base stations are simultaneously within range of the user device, the first base station being less loaded than the second base station; setting the user device as a bridge for communicating load factors and available resources such that with the bridge at least one of the first base station, the second base station and the user device is provided with load factors and available resources of the first and second base stations; and increasing power at the first, less loaded base station until the power of the first base station is within a predetermined range of a power of the second base station, wherein the first and second base stations are connected to a network, but have respective cell coverage areas that are not adjusted by the network.
