Abstract:
1. A method, comprising: detecting, by a system including a processor, a potential traffic load imbalance condition associated with a sector carrier of sector carriers; facilitating, by the system, balancing of traffic loading of the sector carrier based, at least, on adjusting an idle mode parameter associated with carrier selection by an idle mobile device of idle mobile devices; identifying, by the system, a set of overlaid sector carriers of the sector carriers, wherein the set of overlaid sector carriers are located in a defined area surrounding a boundary of an overloaded sector carrier; and determining, by the system, that a traffic load overlay imbalance condition exists based, at least, on determining that a first potential throughput per idle mobile device of the idle mobile devices associated with the overloaded sector carrier represented in first throughput information is lower than a second potential throughput per idle mobile device of the idle mobile devices associated with the set of overlaid sector carriers represented in second throughput information.
