INTER-NETWORK COMMUNICATION TO AVOID PING-PONGING INTER-RAT IDLE RESELECTION

摘要

A method, an apparatus, and a computer program product for wireless communication are provided which enable dissimilar radio access networks to exchange loading information that may be used to determine reselection criteria for mobile terminals and/or classes of mobile terminals. A network entity in one network, aware of loading conditions in another network, can determine whether a wireless terminal should attempt to reselect the other network. The method comprises receiving information related to the operational status of a first network at a second network, and determining at the second network whether to direct an idle user equipment in the second network to reselect the first network based on the operational status of the first network. The first and second networks may employ different radio access technologies.
