Abstract
A method for processing handover of a mobile communication device between femtocell base stations, includes: setting communication alert value and signal capture time period; detecting the signal strength of the femtocell base station currently serving the mobile communication device, and when the detected signal strength is less than the communication alert value, performing a timing operation to continuously capture the signal strength of the serving femtocell base station and other femtocell base stations that allow the mobile communication device to access thereto until the elapsed time measured through the timing operation reaches the signal capture time period, and creating a priority list according to the signal strength of said other femtocell base stations; and choosing the femtocell base station with highest priority as a handover target when the signal strength of the serving femtocell base station is less than that of the femtocell base station with highest priority.
