Traffic steering across cell-types

A mobile device comprising:na processor; anda memory storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprisingnreceiving a system information block comprising cell-type information of a current camping cell on which the mobile device is currently camping, first cell-type information of a first neighbor cell of a plurality of neighbor cells to the current camping cell, first cell load information of the first neighbor cell, second cell-type information of a second neighbor cell of the plurality of neighbor cells to the current camping cell, and second cell load information of the second neighbor cell, wherein the first cell-type information of the first neighbor cell is different from the second cell-type information of the second neighbor cell,determining a mobility state of the mobile device,determining, based at least upon the cell-type information of the current camping cell, the first cell-type information of the first neighbor cell, the second cell-type information of the second neighbor cell, and the mobility state of the mobile device, that the first neighbor cell and the second neighbor cell are both qualified to be a target camping cell for the mobile device, andafter determining that the first neighbor cell and the second neighbor cell are both qualified to be the target camping cell for the mobile device, selecting, based at least on the first cell load information of the first neighbor cell as compared with the second cell load information of the second neighbor cell, the first neighbor cell over the second neighbor cell as the target camping cell for the mobile device.

A mobile device comprising:na processor; anda memory storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprisingnreceiving a system information block comprising cell-type information of a current serving cell to the mobile device, first cell-type information of a first neighbor cell of a plurality of neighbor cells to the current serving cell, first cell load information of the first neighbor cell, second cell-type information of a second neighbor cell of the plurality of neighbor cells to the current serving cell, and second cell load information of the second neighbor cell, wherein the first cell-type information of the first neighbor cell is different from the second cell-type information of the second neighbor cell,determining a mobility state of the mobile device,determining, based at least upon the cell-type information of the current serving cell, the first cell-type information of the first neighbor cell, the second cell-type information of the second neighbor cell, and the mobility state of the mobile device, that the first neighbor cell and the second neighbor cell are both qualified to be a target serving cell for the mobile device, andafter determining that the first neighbor cell and the second neighbor cell are both qualified to be the target serving cell for the mobile device, selecting, based at least on the first cell load information of the first neighbor cell as compared with the second cell load information of the second neighbor cell, the first neighbor cell over the second neighbor cell as the target serving cell for the mobile device.

A computer storage medium having computer-executable instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor of a mobile device, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:nreceiving a system information block comprising cell-type information of a current cell associated with the mobile device, first cell-type information of a first neighbor cell of a plurality of neighbor cells to the current cell, first cell load information of the first neighbor cell, second cell-type information of a second neighbor cell of the plurality of neighbor cells to the current cell, and second cell load information of the second neighbor cell, wherein the first cell-type information of the first neighbor cell is different from the second cell-type information of the second neighbor cell;determining a mobility state of the mobile device, the mobility state identifying a speed at which the mobile device is moving;determining, based at least upon the cell-type information of the current cell, the first cell-type information of the first neighbor cell, the second cell-type information of the second neighbor cell, and the mobility state of the mobile device that the first neighbor cell and the second neighbor cell are both qualified to be a target cell for the mobile device; andafter determining that the first neighbor cell and the second neighbor cell are both qualified to be the target cell for the mobile device, selecting, based at least on the first cell load information of the first neighbor cell as compared with the second cell load information of the second neighbor cell, the first neighbor cell over the second neighbor cell as the target cell for the mobile device.
