Abstract
A method and apparatus for wireless communication avoids handover to a non-best neighbor cell. While in a connected mode of operation, a user equipment (UE) determines whether a neighbor cell is the best cell. When the neighbor cell is not the best cell and a time to trigger (TTT) associated with the neighbor cell expires, the UE delays reporting the non-best neighbor cell to a network.
Claims30
A method of wireless communication, comprising:
- determining, while in a connected mode of operation, whether a neighbor cell is a best cell;
- and
- delaying reporting the neighbor cell to a serving network when the neighbor cell is not the best cell and a TTT (time to trigger) associated with the neighbor cell has expired.
An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
- means for determining, while in a connected mode of operation, whether a neighbor cell is a best cell;
- and
- means for delaying reporting the neighbor cell to a serving network when the neighbor cell is not the best cell and a TTT (time to trigger) associated with the neighbor cell has expired.
An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- at least one processor coupled to the memory and configured:
- to determine, while in a connected mode of operation, whether a neighbor cell is a best cell;
- and
- to delay reporting the neighbor cell to a serving network when the neighbor cell is not the best cell and a TTT (time to trigger) associated with the neighbor cell has expired.

A computer program product for wireless communication, comprising:
- a non-transitory computer-readable medium having program code recorded thereon, the program code comprising:
- program code to determine, while in a connected mode of operation, whether a neighbor cell is a best cell;
- and
- program code to delay reporting the neighbor cell to a serving network when the neighbor cell is not the best cell and a TTT (time to trigger) associated with the neighbor cell has expired.
