Abstract

The present disclosure provides a base station load balancing system including a communication network, a performance evaluator and an algorithm switching device. The communication network includes a base station and a plurality of user devices. The performance evaluator is connected to the communication network and evaluates a loading performance of the communication network in a time period according to a first loading data of the communication network in the time period. The algorithm switching device is connected to the performance evaluator and selects the algorithm used by the communication network as a selected algorithm according to the loading performance. The communication network, with the selected algorithm, allocates the connection relation between the base station and plurality of user devices according to the first loading data. The selected algorithm is a machine learning algorithm or a rule-based algorithm.
