Configuration of Handovers in Communication Systems

摘要

Apparatus and method for communication are provided. The solution includes obtaining information of handovers to be performed regarding more than one user equipment connected to the apparatus; requesting the user equipment to form one or more device-to-device clusters; and controlling handovers to be performed utilising information on the formed device-to-device clusters.

主权项

1. An apparatus, comprising:
at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to: obtain information on cell evacuation or massive handover to be performed regarding more than one user equipment connected to the apparatus; in response to the obtaining information, request the more than one user equipment to form one or more device-to-device clusters, and control the cell evacuation or massive handover to be performed utilising information on the formed one or more device-to-device clusters, wherein the control comprises determining whether a device-to-device cluster based handover process or a traditional handover process is to be performed.
