Abstract
Systems, methods, and apparatuses for improved traffic management in wireless communications are disclosed. Aspects of the present disclosure provide real-time radio frequency (RF) assessments to a network by leveraging measurement reports from user equipment (UE). In some aspects, the network utilizes the real-time RF assessments based on the measurement reports to adjust one or more idle-mode parameters of the UE and assign priorities to a plurality of frequencies based on their respective coverage area and/or propagation characteristics. In one example, the priority assignments for two or more of the plurality of frequencies may be inversely proportional to their respective coverage areas, so as to push UEs with acceptable signal quality to frequencies with smaller coverage area, thereby releasing frequencies with greater coverage area for UEs that are near or at the edge of the effective range of the base station.
