Methods and apparatus for improving network loading
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide methods, apparatus, and computer-program products for improving network loading (e.g., by enabling inter-frequency handover and/or traffic offloading between neighboring base stations). In aspects, the proposed methods may include transmitting a beacon signal on a frequency (e.g., carrier frequency) other than the frequency currently used by a base station. The base station may select a cell identity (ID) and transmit one or more beacon signals on the frequency using the selected cell ID. The beacon signal may be used to decide whether or not to perform an inter-frequency handover.
