Enhancement of a cell reselection parameter in heterogeneous networks

A computer-readable storage device comprising executable instructions that, in response to execution, cause a system comprising a processor to perform operations, comprising:

• receiving, from a serving access point device, parameter data indicative of a set of cell reselection parameter values assigned to different categories of access point devices;
• based on a cell reselection parameter value of the set of cell reselection parameter values that corresponds to a category of the different categories that is assigned to a neighbor access point device, determining rank data indicative of a rank of the neighbor access point device, wherein the neighbor access point device is deployed within a defined distance from the serving access point device;
• and
• in response to determining that the rank data satisfies a rank criterion, facilitating cell reselection to initiate attachment signaling with the neighbor access point device.
