The present invention relates to an arrangement and a method to render the handover-related signalling traffic in a Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA)-based communication system more effective by reducing the amount of handover-related signalling traffic that must be sent between user equipment and the network. The arrangement comprises, i.a., a delay unit at least in the user equipment or in both user equipment and an appropriate network unit. The method comprises, i.a., the steps of releasing a communication link to the radio base station of a candidate cell while keeping information about the neighbor cells of said candidate cell for a delay period that is indicated by said delay unit. Accordingly, if a communication link shall be re-established to said candidate cell, its neighbor cells are only retrieved if said a delay period has expired. |
