A method and apparatus for load balancing in a wireless network is provided. For example, this invention is directed to a technique for balancing bearer load across a bank of traffic processors associated with a high-availability radio network controller (RNC). Instantaneous measures (e.g. processor occupancy) are used as one parameter for such load balancing. Predictive measures are used as another parameter. The predictive measures indicate the degree to which a given processor can become busy in the next few intervals of time and is based on the unrealized potential as derived from the established data rate of bearer sessions. The overall technique described herein allows for an even distribution of highly bursty traffic, with an objective of preserving call quality during periods of increased network congestion.
