Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Synchronization information and access node identification information are transmitted from a first access node and a second access node. It is determined that loading information of the first access node meets a first loading criteria and loading information of the second access node meets a second loading criteria. A message is transmitted from the first access node comprising the determination that the loading information of the first access node meets the first loading criteria and the loading information of the second access node meets the second loading criteria. The wireless device then determines the second access node identification based on the message and on the synchronization information. An access request is received at the second access node to initiate a communication session between a wireless device and the second access node.
