The first base station receives from a wireless device, a measurement report comprising a received power of a cell of the second base station. The first base station determines a handover to the cell based on the measurement report and the number of bearers supported by the at least one second base station. The first base station sends a handover request to the at least one second base station in response to the determining of the handover. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method comprising: receiving, by a first base station from at least one second base station, a first message comprising capability information indicating a number of bearers supported by the at least one second base station; receiving, by the first base station from a wireless device, a measurement report comprising a received power of a cell of the second base station; determining, by the first base station, a handover to the cell based on the measurement report and the number of bearers supported by the at least one second base station; and sending, by the first base station to the at least one second base station, a handover request in response to the determining the handover. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising sending, by the first base station to a first mobility management entity, a second message requesting a handover, the second message comprising an identity of the at least one second base station. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The method of claim 2, further comprising receiving, by the first mobility management entity from at least one second mobility management entity, a third message comprising capability information indicating a number of bearers supported by the at least one second mobility management entity. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The method of claim 3, further comprising determining, by the first mobility management entity, a relocation of the first mobility management entity to the at least one second mobility management entity, based on at least the number of bearers supported by the at least one second mobility management entity. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The method of claim 4, further comprising sending, by the first mobility management entity to the at least one second mobility management entity, a forward relocation request message comprising the identity of the at least one second base station. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The method of claim 5, further comprising determining, by the at least one second mobility management entity, a relocation of a first serving gateway and in response to the forward relocation request message. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The method of claim 6 further comprising selecting, by the at least one second mobility management entity, at least one second serving gateway, based on at least a number of bearers supported by the at least one second serving gateway. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The method of claim 7, further comprising receiving, by the first mobility management entity from the at least one second serving gateway, a fourth message comprising capability information indicating a number of bearers supported by the at least one second serving gateway. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The method of claim 8, further comprising sending, by the at least one second mobility management entity to the at least one second serving gateway, a create session request message requesting creation of a session. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The method of claim 9, further comprising receiving, by the at least one second mobility management entity from the at least one second serving gateway and in response to the create session request message, create session response message. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The method of claim 10, further comprising sending, by the at least one second mobility management entity to the at least one second base station, a handover request message. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11, further comprising receiving, by the at least one second mobility management entity from the at least one second base station and in response to the handover request message, a handover request acknowledge message. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The method of claim 12, further comprising sending, by the at least one second mobility management entity to the first mobility management entity, a forward relocation response. ### Claim 14 (depends on 2) The method of claim 2, further comprising receiving, by the first base station from the first mobility management entity and in response to the second message, a first handover command message. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The method of claim 14, further comprising sending, by the first base station to the wireless device and in response to the first handover command message, a second handover command message. ### Claim 16 (depends on 2) The method of claim 2, wherein the second message is a handover required message. ### Claim 17 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the measurement report comprises a block error rate. ### Claim 18 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the measurement report comprises a transmit power. ### Claim 19 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the measurement report comprises other UE-based parameters. ### Claim 20 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the first message is an ENB CONFIGURATION UPDATE message.
