CELL BROADCAST FOR SMART TRAFFIC STEERING ACROSS RADIO TECHNOLOGIES WITH IMPROVED RADIO EFFICIENCY

摘要

Traffic associated with user equipment that are coupled to a first radio access network is steered to a second radio access network based on an adaptable signal strength criterion. The signal strength criterion is related to real-time network load conditions of the first radio access network and can be broadcasted from a serving access point to the user equipment. Moreover, the signal strength criterion facilitates steering, to the second radio network, traffic associated with user equipment that are located closer to a cell edge of the first radio access network before steering traffic associated with user equipment are located further away from the cell edge. In addition, based on the network congestion within the first radio access network, the signal strength criterion is modified to adjust the number of user equipment that are steered to the second radio network.

主权项

1. A system, comprising:
a memory to store executable instructions; and a processor, coupled to the memory, that facilitates execution of the instructions to perform operations, comprising:
based on an analysis of network load data associated with an access point device of a first radio access network, updating information indicative of a device steering criterion to adjust a number of user equipment that are to be steered from the access point device to a network device of a second radio access network, andfacilitating a transmission of the information to a set of the user equipment via the access point device.
