A method comprising: comparing, in a mobile communication device, one or more application signaling requirements of a selected application with one or more link characteristics of a link between the mobile communication device and an access node of an access network; based on said comparison, selecting at least one of : signaling, in the mobile communications device, to a handover algorithm (i.e. triggering Handover) to indicate that a handover to another access node is desired if it is determined that the application signaling requirements cannot be met by the link; and determining, in the mobile communication device, one or more transmission characteristics (e.g. transmission rate, power level) for the selected application based on the one or more application signaling requirements (e.g. QoS, Quality of service, requirements) and the one or more link characteristics (Received signal strength, RSSI) and transmitting a signal from the mobile communication device to the access node for the selected application using the determined one or more transmission characteristics if it is determined that the application signaling requirements can be met by the link. |
