Embodiments of the present invention provide a load balancing method and a
base station, which can realize load balancing of CCs under the same
base station, thereby avoiding control resource reconfiguration caused by unbalanced loads of CCs, and ensuring timely scheduling of users or services , to ensure the quality of user communication. The method includes: obtaining the resource
occupancy rate of the serving
cell of the UE; if it is determined that the resource
occupancy rate of the serving
cell of the UE exceeds a preset threshold, determining a qualified target
base station from base stations to which neighboring cells of the serving
cell belong; wherein, the UE The
signal quality under the target base
station is better than that of the UE under the base
station of the serving cell, the number of carriers that the UE can perform carrier aggregation under the target base
station is greater than the number of carriers that the UE currently performs carrier aggregation under the base station of the serving cell, and the UE The resource occupancy rates of at least two cells that can perform carrier aggregation under the target base station are both lower than a preset threshold;
handover the UE to the target base station. The invention is applicable to the technical field of communication.
