Enhancement of a cell reselection parameter in heterogeneous networks
First Claim
1. A system, comprising:
- a processor; and
a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising;
determining parameter data indicative of a first common parameter associated with first access point devices that are determined to belong to a first common category and a second common parameter associated with second access point devices that are determined to belong to a second common category, andfacilitating a transmission of data signals indicative of the parameter data to a user equipment to facilitate cell reselection associated with the user equipment, wherein the first common parameter and the second common parameter are employable to bias a ranking of the first access point devices and the second access point devices, respectively, and wherein the ranking is to be employed to select an access point device, from the first access point devices and the second access point devices, to which the user equipment is to initiate a connection to facilitate the cell reselection.

Abstract
A cell reselection procedure in heterogeneous networks is enhanced based on utilization of per category cell reselection parameters. In one aspect, a serving access point can categorize a set of neighbor access points based on cell-type and/or cell-profile data of a set of neighbor access points. Further, the serving access point can determine cell reselection parameters for the different categories. As an example, offset data (Qoffset) can be determined for the different categories. The per category cell reselection parameters can be transmitted to user equipment coupled to the serving access point to facilitate cell reselection. In one example, the per category cell reselection parameters reduce operational costs associated with processing and transmission of system parameters.
