1. A method, comprising:

  • receiving a reselection indicator related to a restricted association access point that specifies whether intra-frequency reselection is allowed;

    receiving an offset related to predicting interference caused to the restricted association access point by communicating with a target access point that operates in a similar frequency region as the restricted association access point; and

    determining whether to select the target access point based on the reselection indicator and the offset, wherein the reselection indicator is overridden where a predicted level of interference resulting from communicating with the target access point is below a threshold level.
