Abstract

See full text

A first access node receives, from a wireless device, a first indicator. This first indicator corresponds to a downlink reference signal power as measured by the wireless device. The first indicator is associated with a second access node. The first access node determines a second indicator. The second indicator corresponds to an uplink reference signal power as measured by the first access node. The second indicator is associated with the wireless device. Based on the first indicator and the second indicator, a handoff of the wireless device from the first access node to a second access node is initiated.
