Coverage area adjustment for circuit switched fallback

摘要

A first access node co-located with a second access node. The first access node communicates using a first type of wireless service. Scan results indicate whether a wireless device meets a first threshold criteria for being served by the second access node using a second type of wireless service. A time series of a count of these wireless devices is determined. From the time series, an indicator of a moving average of the time series is determined. Based on the moving average, the wireless devices are configured with an indicator of a second threshold criteria that determines whether a respective one of the wireless devices meets a second threshold criteria for being served by the first access node using the first type of wireless service.

主权项

1. A method of operating a communication system, comprising:
communicating with a plurality of wireless devices using a first type of wireless service, the plurality of wireless devices including a first wireless device; sending a command to the first wireless device that results in the first wireless device scanning for a second type of wireless service; receiving an indicator from the first wireless device that a first threshold criteria associated with the first wireless device not being within a coverage area for the second type of wireless service is met; and, based on the plurality of wireless devices meeting the first threshold criteria, configuring the first wireless device with a second threshold criteria that reduces a coverage area for the first type of wireless service.
