Traffic management for heterogenous networks

摘要

This disclosure relates to cell selection of a telecommunication device based on mobility management algorithms for idle mode cell selection routines and handover routines. The mobility management algorithm can utilize the BTS class of the infrastructure equipment to help determine cell selection. The BTS class of the infrastructure equipment can be used to determine the geographic size of the coverage area that the infrastructure equipment provides. These algorithms can be used to help handle mobility management for telecommunication device.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method for selecting a infrastructure equipment in a wireless communication network by a telecommunication device, the method comprising:
receiving from each of a plurality of infrastructure equipment a base transceiver station (BTS) class identifier, wherein each BTS class identifier is based, at least in part, on a geographic coverage area associated with the infrastructure equipment; assigning a weighted value to each of the BTS class identifiers, wherein individual weighted values bias selection of infrastructure equipment by the telecommunication device; determining a movement speed of the telecommunication device; based on a determination that the movement speed of the telecommunication device exceeds a movement speed threshold, adjusting the weighted values of the BTS class identifiers based, at least in part, on the movement speed of the telecommunications device; and selecting a target infrastructure equipment of the plurality of infrastructure equipment based, at least in part, on the adjusted weighted values associated with the BTS class identifiers of the plurality of infrastructure equipment.
