1. A load balancing method comprising:
receiving, by a first radio access network node, a first message from a second radio access network node, wherein the first message comprises load information of a first load type of the second radio access network node, and the first load type comprises any one or more of the following: a network slice load, a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) load, or a supplementary uplink (SUL) load;
obtaining, by the first radio access network node, the load information of the first load type; and
performing load balancing based on the obtained load information, wherein the load balancing meets different load requirements for the network slice load, the V2X load, and the SUL load.
