Methods and Apparatuses for Handling a Handover Event

摘要

A method in a primary network node for handling a handover of a wireless device from a primary cell serviced by the primary network node to a neighbour cell serviced by a neighbour network node. The method comprises sending a configuration message to the wireless device, comprising instructions to evaluate in parallel a first handover event and a second handover event. The first event is based on signal quality measurements from both cells. The second event is based on signal strength measurements from both cells. To evaluate comprises determining if an entering condition for each of the events is satisfied. The method further comprises sending a handover command to the wireless device when one of: the entering condition for the first handover event is satisfied over a first time period, and the entering condition for the second handover event is satisfied over a second time period.
