Abstract

There are provided measures for proximity reporting procedures in radio access, for example in heterogeneous network environments, said measures exemplarily including sending, to a serving base station representing a source of mobility of a user equipment, a first proximity indication indicating proximity to a microcell base station representing a target of mobility of said user equipment, said first proximity indication including a carrier according to a preceding access of said user equipment to the microcell base station, and, when detecting the microcell base station on said carrier according to the preceding access fails, sending, to the serving base station, a second proximity indication indicating proximity to the microcell base station, said second proximity indication including a carrier being different from said carrier according to the preceding access. Said measures may exemplarily be applied for mobility procedures in LTE, LTE-Advanced, HSPA and/or UMTS radio access systems.
