Cell broadcast for smart traffic steering across radio technologies with improved radio efficiency
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;
mapping network load data, representative of a network load associated with a first access point device, to a first signal strength to determine a signal strength threshold, wherein the signal strength threshold corresponds to a classification value generated as a function of a mapping of an input attribute vector associated with the first access point device;
based on a type of network associated with a second access point device, determining device steering criterion data that is employable to steer communication data associated with a user equipment from the first access point device to the second access point device, wherein the user equipment is selected based on the network load associated with the first access point device;
based on a subscriber class associated with the user equipment, customizing an unstructured supplementary service data message to be sent to the user equipment, wherein the customizing comprises limiting an amount of the load data to be sent to the user equipment; and
in response to an analysis of the network load data, updating device steering data to adjust the user equipment to be steered to the second access point device.

Abstract
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.

11. A method, comprising:
-
receiving, by a user equipment comprising a processor, network load data and signal strength data associated with a first access point device; determining, by the user equipment, a corresponding signal strength in relation to the network load data, wherein the corresponding signal strength comprises a signal strength threshold selected to facilitate a network selection based on user equipment steering criterion, and wherein the signal strength threshold corresponds to a classification value generated as a function of a mapping of an input attribute vector associated with the access point device; based on a type of network associated with a second access point device, receiving, by the user equipment, user equipment steering criterion data, associated with the user equipment steering criterion, that is employable to steer communication data associated with the user equipment from the first access point device to the second access point device; and based on a subscriber class associated with the user equipment, receiving, by the user equipment, a customized unstructured supplementary service data message, wherein the customized unstructured supplementary service data message comprises less than a full amount of the network load data. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
