Handover Management System and User Device

Abstract

The disclosure pertains to a handover management system for managing handover of a first user device between a dedicated network comprising at least one dedicated base station and a public network comprising a plurality of public base stations and to a user device for use with such a system. The wireless coverage areas of the dedicated network and the public network overlap at least in part. The handover management system comprises a receiving system configured to receive a first set of radio signal parameter values from the first user device for the at least one dedicated base station and at least one public base station of the plurality of public base stations. The handover management system contains service area information representative of a dedicated service area of the dedicated network defined on the basis of a plurality of second sets of radio signal parameter values of the at least one dedicated base station and the at least one public base station. The handover management system is configured to initiate handover of the first user device from the dedicated network to the public network only when the first set of radio signal parameter values indicates location of the first user device is outside the dedicated service area based on the service area information.
