Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method of controlling handover of a mobile station ( 5 ) from a first cell ( 61 ) to a second cell ( 62 ) includes adjusting a handover parameter so that, when radio quality of the first cell ( 61 ) at a position of a mobile station ( 5 ) is a first level, lag time from when a handover initiation condition is satisfied to when the handover is initiated is shorter than when the radio quality of the first cell is a second level that is higher than the first level. As a result, for example in HCS (HetNet), handover failures and ping-pong/rapid handovers can be reduced, and a mobile station expected to stay in a small-scale cell for at least a certain period of time can be efficiently accommodated in a small-scale cell.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A handover control method for handover of a mobile station from a first cell to a second cell, comprising: initiating the handover in response to satisfaction of a first state in which a period during which a first handover initiation condition continues to be satisfied is longer than a first hold time, wherein the first handover initiation condition is used when a radio quality of the first cell at a position of the mobile station is equal to or lower than…
