METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING HANDOVER IN COGNITIVE RADIO SYSTEM

摘要

A method and apparatus for controlling a handover in a cognitive radio system are used to control a cell handover process of a user equipment, and can hand over the user equipment to an appropriate target cell as far as possible. The method includes: a source base station receiving a measurement report send by a user equipment; the source base station controlling a handover of the user equipment according to the measurement report, radio resource management information, and reconfiguration related information. The apparatus is located in the source base station and includes a receiving module and a handover controlling module. Using the method and apparatus in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention can hand over the user equipment to an appropriate target cell as far as possible, thereby avoiding a handover failure due to spectrum resource reconfiguration occurred in a target cell during a UE handover process, as well as UE service interruption and frequent handovers due to the spectrum resources reconfiguration occurred in the target cell after the UE hands over to the target cell.
