Abstract
Distribution of traffic to cells in a communication network can be controlled. User equipment (UE) can perform measurements regarding signal quality with cells and communicate measurement information and a connection request to a source cell. The source cell can establish an initial connection with the UE. Meanwhile, the UE can perform additional measurements and communicate additional measurement information to the source cell. A distribution management component (DMC) can analyze the measurement information and cell-related information and determine whether to redirect the UE from the source cell to a target cell based on the analysis results. If the DMC determines that the UE is to be redirected to the target cell, the DMC can release the connection to the source cell and communicate a redirect message that includes target cell information to the UE, and the UE can send a connection request to the target cell.
