Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Methods and network nodes ( 110, 112 ), serving a user equipment ( 120 ), for deciding if a handover request of the user equipment ( 120 ) is to be sent to a candidate target network node ( 130 - 1, 130 - 2, 130 - 3 ). The methods comprise acquire ( 603 ) data-rate performance of a wireless link between the network nodes ( 110, 112 ) and the user equipment ( 120 ). The data-rate performance is compared ( 606 ) with a data-rate performance threshold value. If the acquired data-rate performance is lower than the data-rate performance threshold value, it is decided ( 607 ) to send the handover request of the user equipment ( 120 ) to the candidate target network node ( 130 - 1, 130 - 2, 130 - 3 ).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method, in a radio base station serving a user equipment, for deciding whether a handover request of the user equipment is to be sent to a candidate target network node, the method comprising: acquiring data-rate performance of a wireless link between the radio base station and the user equipment; comparing the acquired data-rate performance with a data-rate performance threshold value, wherein the data-rate performance threshold value is based on…
