Method and apparatus for dynamically modifying cell reselection and/or handover parameters

摘要

Embodiments of the claimed subject matter provide embodiments of a method and apparatus for dynamically modifying cell reselection parameters and/or handover parameters. One embodiment of the method includes providing a request for a cell reselection parameter or handover parameter in response to a small cell determining that a number of cell reselections or a number of handovers between the small cell and at least one macrocell exceeds at least one threshold. In this embodiment, the cell reselection parameter or handover parameter is stored in the small cell.

1. A method, comprising:
determining, at a small cell, at least one of a number of cell reselections for idle access terminals and a number of handovers for active access terminals, providing, from the small cell, a request for at least one cell reselection parameter or handover parameter in response to the at least one of the number of cell reselections or the number of handovers between the small cell and at least one macrocell exceeding at least one threshold; and storing said at least one cell reselection parameter or handover parameter in the small cell.
