Abstract
A device may select a sector of a network on which to perform network traffic offloading based on a sector loading metric relating to an imbalance of loading of a set of cells of the sector. The device may identify a loaded cell of the sector based on one or more call admission metrics or one or more cell congestion metrics. The device may identify a less loaded neighbor (LLN) cell for the loaded cell. The device may cause one or more cell configuration alterations relating to causing network traffic to be offloaded from the loaded cell to the LLN cell.
