Abstract
A method, system, device and computer program product for bandwidth utilization and signal strength-based handover initiation in a wireless communications network, including determining signal strengths received at a mobile wireless device from a present and a target base station; determining bandwidth utilizations at the present and the target base stations; and performing handover initiation of the mobile device based on the determined signal strengths and the determined bandwidth utilizations.
Claims36
A method for bandwidth utilization and signal strength-based handover initiation in a wireless communications network, comprising:
- determining signal strengths received at a mobile wireless device from a present and a target base station;
