Apparatus and methods are provided for adaptively determining a handover measurement interval. Power savings are achieved when a mobile terminal in a digital broadcast broadband network does not constantly attempt to measure the signal strength of nearby cells. By determining cell parameters, such as size and carrier frequency, and also determining dynamic information, such as signal strength and mobile speed over time, the time until the next handover measurement is adjusted up or down. When a mobile terminal is moving towards a transmitter in a cell, the handover measurement interval may be lengthened, and when a mobile terminal is moving away from a transmitter, the interval may be shortened. |
