Abstract
An example method is provided and includes monitoring a plurality of neighboring nodes to detect attempts to perform mobility load balancing by the neighboring nodes; detecting an attempt to perform mobility load balancing by at least one neighboring node; determining an identity of the at least one of the neighboring nodes; and setting an offset parameter for the identified neighboring node(s) to an optimal value. The monitoring may include monitoring a number of handover requests received within a predetermined time period. The detecting may include detecting that the number of handover requests received within the predetermined time period exceeds a predetermined number. The determining may include determining a source of each of the received handover requests, which may be accomplished by examining a user equipment history included in each of the received handover requests or by performing an iterative elimination process with respect to the neighboring nodes.
