Dynamic control of cell reselection parameters

A method, comprising:

• determining, by a system comprising a processor, resource consumption data indicative of a utilization of a resource associated with an access point device of a network;
• receiving, by the system, a variable increment value that corresponds to a load level associated with the resource consumption data, wherein the variable increment value is determined based on event data that represents an event that has been determined to occur within an area associated with access point device;
• in response to determining that the resource consumption data satisfies an overload criterion, adjusting, by the system, a reselection offset threshold value that is to be stored within a user equipment coupled to the access point device, wherein the reselection offset threshold value is employable by the user equipment to initiate a cell reselection based on comparing a signal strength value of a signal measured by the user equipment with the reselection offset threshold value;
• and
• directing, by the system, the reselection offset threshold value to the user equipment wherein the directing triggers the user equipment to initiate the cell reselection.

A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:

• determining resource consumption data indicative of a utilization of a resource associated with an access point device of a network;
• receiving a variable increment value that corresponds to a load level associated with the resource consumption data, wherein the variable increment value is determined based on event data that represents an event that has been determined to occur within an area associated with access point device;
• in response to determining that the resource consumption data satisfies an overload criterion, modifying, based on the variable increment value, a reselection offset threshold value stored within a user equipment that is served by the access point device, wherein the modifying results in a modified reselection offset threshold value;
• and
• directing the modified reselection offset threshold value to the user equipment, wherein the directing triggers the user equipment to initiate the cell reselection based on a comparison of a value associated with a signal strength of a signal received by the user equipment with the modified reselection offset threshold value.
