Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate utilizing reselection indicators in reselecting access points in wireless communications. In particular, an indicator can be provided relating to a restricted association access point that specifies whether intra-frequency reselection is allowed. If so, a mobile device receiving the indicator can reselect to other access points, to which it has access, operating in a similar frequency. If not, the mobile device can evaluate access points in other frequencies so as not to cause substantial interference to the restricted association access point. In addition, a predicted level of interference caused by communicating with an intra-frequency access point can be computed and evaluated to override the reselection indicator, in some cases. Thus, a restricted association access point can control reselection for some devices to mitigate interference while allowing the devices to override prohibitive restricted access points.
