Method in a base station of a communication system for making a handover decision, base station, computer programs, and computer program products

A node configured for operation in a communication system, the node comprising:

• input/output circuitry;
• and
• processing circuitry operatively associated with the input/output circuitry and configured to:
• receive, via the communication circuitry, first measurement information from a User Equipment (UE) being served via a first transceiver in the communication system, the first measurement information indicating measurements made by the UE on a first broadcast signal transmitted by the first transceiver and on a second broadcast signal transmitted by a neighboring, second transceiver in the communication system;
• initiate transmission of a directional signal between the UE and the second transceiver, responsive at least to determining from the first measurement information that the second transceiver is a candidate for serving the UE;
• receive second measurement information from the UE or the second transceiver, the second measurement information indicating measurements made on the directional signal;
• and
• control handover of the UE from the first transceiver to the second transceiver in dependence on the second measurement information.
