A method and system of determining whether a mobile station is located inside (or moving into) a repeater's coverage area and using the determination in a handover procedure. An access network may receive from a mobile station communicating on a first wireless link an indication of channel quality for the first wireless link and a second wireless link that serve the same coverage area. The access network may then use the channel quality indicators to determine whether the mobile station is located inside (or moving into) a repeater's coverage area, such as by comparing the channel quality indicators. If the access network determines that the mobile station is located inside (or moving into) the repeater's coverage area, it may also initiate a handover of the communication with the mobile station to the repeated wireless link (e.g., which may include suspending application of a load threshold to the repeated wireless link).
