Abstract
A serving access node is determined as being capable of transmitting a mMIMO signal, responsive to which handover parameters are adjusted for wireless devices attached to the serving access node and receiving the mMIMO signal. Wireless devices attached to a sector deployed by a first access node and not the mMIMO signal are configured to utilize different handover parameters such that the non mMIMO wireless devices request handovers using standard signal level thresholds.
