Definitions

  • FIG. 15 is a simplified block diagram of several sample aspects of communication components.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates several nodes of a sample communication system 100 (e.g., a portion of a communication network).
  • a sample communication system 100 e.g., a portion of a communication network.
  • access points may be referred to or implemented as base stations, NodeBs, eNodeBs, small cells, femtocells, and so on
  • access terminals may be referred to or implemented as user equipment (UEs), mobile stations, and so on.
  • UEs user equipment
  • the idle UE learns the AICH channelization code used by this cell based on an SIBS reading (PRACH system information list->AICH information).
  • An idle UE may acquire cell load information for a cell by requesting this information from other UEs currently connected to that cell.
  • the acquisition of cell load information between the idle UE and other UEs may be communicated via mobile-to-mobile communication links.
  • the cell load information may include the current user throughput, various resource usages, served user number, etc., as observed by connected UEs.
