Abstract
Systems and methods for handover of a mobile station to a base station are provided. Handover criteria for determining which base station to handover to is different for different candidate base stations. This difference can account for base station loading and/or environmental factors. The handover criteria can include a threshold and hysteresis value. A wireless communication system can employ a fixed threshold and hysteresis value for all base stations, and these fixed values are adjusted differently for different candidate base stations.
