APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR FACILITATING TRANSFER TO A SECONDARY CELL

A method and apparatus facilitating access to a communication session for a client is provided. The method may comprise obtaining, by a wireless communications device (WCD), reverse link transmit power to a primary cell, detecting if the transmit power to the primary cell exceeds a first threshold, locating one or more secondary cells when the detected transmit power exceeds the first threshold, obtaining reverse link transmit power to the one or more located secondary cells, and initiating a session transfer to a secondary cell when the secondary cell estimated transmit power is less than the transmit power to the primary cell.
