Method and system for offset-based mobility prioritization

Abstract

A method, a network device, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium are described in relation to an offset-based mobility prioritization service. The offset-based mobility prioritization service may include obtaining performance metric information and any changes to configuration and/or topology of a transport network, such as an X-haul network. The offset-based mobility prioritization service may include calculating offset values, such as cell individual offset values, based on this information. The offset values may be calculated based on other factors, such as end device classifications, states and/or modes of end devices, and other information. The offset-based mobility prioritization service may further include calculating neighbor lists. The offset values and neighbor lists may be used to prioritize, influence, or steer end devices and/or source wireless stations in selecting target wireless stations when performing handover procedures or other types of cell selection or reselection procedures.
