METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR OPTIMIZING MOBILITY OF A MOBILE DEVICE

摘要

The application discloses a method and apparatus for optimizing mobility of a mobile device in the wireless communication system. The method includes receiving (302) a plurality of mobility area descriptors from an external device, and configuring (304) the received plurality of mobility area descriptors in the mobile device. The method then determines (306) a current location of the mobile device (110), and selects (308) a mobility area descriptor among the plurality of mobility area descriptors based on the current location of the mobile device (110). The mobility area descriptor is associated with a geographical area (112) in the communication system. The method then finally optimizes the optimizing (310) the mobility of the mobile device (110) based on the selected mobility area descriptor.
