Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method, a device and a base station for controlling handover are described. In order to control handover from a source base station to a target base station in a wireless communication system, where the target base station controls multiple cells, preference levels for candidate cells to be used as a target cell for the handover are received from the target base station; and handover parameters for the candidate cells are adjusted by taking the preference levels into account when selecting the target cell for the handover. With the present invention, at least benefits of target eNB inter-cell interference coordination, load optimization among cells, tendency to dedicated-configured cell etc. may be achieved.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for controlling handover of a mobile communication equipment from a source base station to a target base station in a wireless communication system, wherein the source base station and the target base station each utilizes multiple cells to communicate with the mobile communication equipment, wherein one of the multiple cells is a primary cell and another of the multiple cells is a secondary cell, and wherein the target base station controls it…
