Post third generation (3G) broadband mobile networks such as HSPA+, LTE and LTE-Advanced offer improved spectral efficiency and higher data rates using innovative technologies such as relay nodes and femto cells. In addition, these networks are normally deployed for parallel operation with existing heterogeneous networks. This increases the complexity of network management and operations, which reflects in higher operational and capital cost. In order to address these challenges, self-organizing network operations were envisioned for these next generation networks. For LTE in particular, Self-organizing networks operations were built into the specifications for the radio access network. Load balancing is a key self-organizing operation aimed at ensuring an equitable distribution of users in the network. Several iterative techniques have been adopted for load balancing. However, these iterative techniques require precision, rigor and certainty, which carry a computational cost. Retrospect, these techniques use load indicators to achieve load balancing. This paper proposes two neural encoded fuzzy models, developed from network simulation for load balancing. The two models use both load indicators and key performance indicators for a more informed and intuitive load balancing. The result of the model checking and testing satisfactorily validates the model
