DEVICE, SYSTEM AND METHOD OF CELL SPECIFIC PROBABILITY LOAD BALANCING

摘要

An eNodeB (eNB), user equipment (UE) and method of cell reselection are generally described. While in Radio Resource Control (RRC) Idle mode, the UE may receive via a system information broadcast a cell reselection probability and a cell-specific priority list including a list of neighboring eNBs and their priorities for both macro and small cells operating on at least one frequency different from that of the serving eNB. The UE may generate a random number and compare the random number to the cell reselection probability to determine whether the UE is to reselect. The UE may randomly select among eNBs that have the same, highest priority. The UE may receive a predetermined set of cell reselection criteria from the eNB via a system information broadcast to determine whether or not to perform reselection.

1. User equipment (UE) comprising:
processing circuitry configured to:
configure a transceiver to receive a cell-specific priority list and a cell reselection probability from a serving eNode B (eNB) to which the UE is attached, the cell-specific priority list comprising a list of neighboring eNBs of the serving eNB, each eNB in the list having an associated priority based at least in part on load of the eNB, the cell reselection probability indicating a probability that the UE is to reselect to one of the eNBs in the list of eNBs;reselect to a selected eNB in the list of eNBs based on the cell-specific priority list and the cell reselection probability in response to a determination that the UE is to reselect; andconfigure the transceiver to communicate with the selected eNB after reselection of the selected eNB.
