Abstract
A method for handover using a handover (HO) candidate set includes receiving measurement statistic parameters. Statistics in a serving cell and potential target cells are measured. An HO candidate set is generated based upon the measured statistics in the serving cell and potential target cells, and the measured statistics are reported. A handing over to one of the potential target cells is performed, wherein a decision to handover to the one of the potential target cells is based upon the measured statistics of the cells in the HO candidate set.
Claims21
A method for handover using a handover (HO) candidate set, comprising:
- receiving measurement statistic parameters;
- measuring statistics in a serving cell;
- measuring statistics in potential target cells;
- generating the HO candidate set based upon the measured statistics in the serving cell and potential target cells;
- reporting the measured statistics;
- and
- handing over to one of the potential target cells, wherein a decision to handover to the one of the potential target cells is based upon the measured statistics of the cells in the HO candidate set.
A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU), comprising:
- a receiver;
- a transmitter;
- and
- a processor in communication with the receiver and the transmitter, the processor configured to receive measurement statistic parameters, measure statistics in a serving cell, measure statistics in potential target cells, generate a HO candidate set based upon the measured statistics in the serving cell and potential target cells, report the measured statistics, and hand over to one of the potential target cells, wherein a decision to handover to the one of the potential target cells is based upon the measured statistics of the cells in the HO candidate set.
A Node-B, comprising:
- a receiver;
- a transmitter;
- and
- a processor in communication with the receiver and the transmitter, the processor configured to transmit a measurement control signal that includes handover measurement parameters, receive a measurement report signal including a report of measurements of statistics in potential target cells for handover, determine a cell for handover, and transmit a handover command that indicates a cell for a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) to handover.
