Abstract

See full text

A cellular communication system has an air interface divided into frames, each consisting of sub-frames at least two of which are synchronization sub-frames. For each cell, different cell-related synchronization signals are transmitted to user equipments (UEs) in different synchronization signal sub-frames. The UE detects cell identities of first and second cells. Weights then control generation of weighted handover measurements made from the first cell's synchronization signals received during synchronization sub-frames, wherein each of the weights is a function of the cell identity of the first cell, the cell identity of the second cell, and which ones of the first and second cells' cell-related synchronization signals are transmitted in the respective one of the plurality of synchronization sub-frames during which the weight is applied. A filtered handover measurement, upon which a handover decision can be made, is generated from the weighted handover measurements.
