Abstract
An LTE wireless access node selects a wireless access node based on Radio Access Terminal (RAT) measurements and subscriber wireless data scheduling weights. The LTE wireless access node includes a communication interface to transfer communications for a subscriber operating a UE. The communication interface of the LTE wireless node receives RAT measurements indicating individual RF signal quality for multiple eNodeBs from the UE. The communication interface of the LTE wireless access node receives subscriber wireless data scheduling weights indicating scheduling metrics for the subscriber operating the UE from the multiple eNodeBs. The LTE wireless access node also includes a processing system to process the RAT measurements and subscriber wireless data scheduling weights to select one of the eNodeBs. The communication interface of the LTE wireless access system further transfers a signaling message to the UE indicating the selected eNodeB.
