Abstract
A cellular mobile radio network selects a cell when a mobile station accesses the network, if a different cell than initially accessed by the mobile station is better suited to provide the types of services required by the mobile station, and is available. If a better cell is selected, the network initiates a hand over of the mobile station to the selected cell.
