Abstract: A method (200; 600) of balancing a traffic load among at least apart of traffic managing entities (105;110) of a mobile telecommunication network (100) comprising a plurality of traffic managing entities (105;110) is proposed. The method comprises the following steps: collecting (205; 605) traffic-related data referred to said at least a part of traffic managing entities (105;110); identifying (220; 620) a first set of traffic managing entities (105;110) managing an excessive traffic load on the basis of such traffic-related data; identifying (220; 620) a second set of traffic managing entities (105;110) adapted to take charge of at least part of the excessive traffic load to which traffic managing entities (105;110) of first set of traffic managing entities (105;110) are subjected. Moreover, for each traffic managing entity (105;110) of the first set of traffic managing entities (105;110) the method comprises: determining (235-240; 630) at least one traffic managing entity (105;110) of the second set of traffic managing entities (105;110) adapted to take charge of at least part of the excessive traffic load managed by said traffic managing entity (105;110) of the first set of traffic managing entities (105;110); assigning (245; 635) at least part of the excessive traffic load to which said traffic managing entity (105;110) of first set of traffic managing entities (105; 10) is subjected to the determined at least one least one traffic managing entity (105;110) of the second set of traffic managing entities (105;110), and adjusting (245; 635) radio communication parameters of said traffic managing entity (105;110) of the first set of traffic managing entities (105; 10) and of said determined at least one traffic managing entity (105;110) of the second set of 20 traffic managing entities (105;110) thereby redistributing traffic load on the basis of such assigning.
