First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- receiving, by a mobile device, a cell broadcast message from a base station, wherein the cell broadcast message comprises signaling load information of the base station, and wherein the signaling load information is representative of a signaling load associated with the base station;
determining, by the mobile device, based at least in part upon the signaling load information, a radio access network of a plurality of radio access networks to which the mobile device should be connected; and
connecting, by the mobile device, to the radio access network.

Abstract
Concepts and technologies are described herein for cell broadcast for signaling resource load from one or more radio access networks (“RANs”). According to one aspect disclosed herein, a base station can collect signaling load information of the base station. The base station can also generate a cell broadcast message that includes the signaling load information. The base station can also send the cell broadcast message to a target mobile device. The target mobile device can be configured to determine, based at least in part upon the signaling load information, to which radio access network of a plurality of radio access networks to connect.
