Facilitation of idle mode traffic load balancing

A system, comprising:

• a memory that stores executable instructions;
• and
• a processor, coupled to the memory, that facilitates execution of executable instructions to perform operations, comprising:
• detecting a potential traffic load overlay imbalance condition associated with a set of idle mobile devices;
• determining that a traffic load overlay imbalance condition exists for the set of idle mobile devices based, at least, on determining that a first potential throughput per idle mobile device of the idle mobile devices associated with an overloaded sector carrier represented in first throughput information is lower than a second potential throughput per idle mobile device of the idle mobile devices associated with overlaid sector carriers of a set of sector carriers represented in second throughput information, wherein the overlaid sector carriers are located in a defined area surrounding a region associated with the overloaded sector carrier;
• and
• balancing a traffic loading by adjustment of signal strength information associated with at least one of the set of sector carriers to cause at least one idle mobile device of the set of idle mobile devices to shift between the sector carriers of the set of sector carriers, wherein the balancing is performed at time intervals based on historical information indicative of a traffic load overlay imbalance condition for at least one sector carrier of the set of sector carriers.
