Abstract
A method for reducing the handover frequency by a femto gateway in femtocell networks includes the steps: receiving a measurement report from a communication device by an initial femtocell; transmitting a relocation required message to a femto gateway by the initial femtocell if the signal strength thereof is below a threshold; ignoring the relocation required message and enabling the timer by the femto gateway after receiving the relocation required message; determining whether the cell ID included in the call reestablishment request message is classified as 'femtocell' or not by the femto gateway before the timer expires; if so, rebuilding the link to the femtocell in response to the cell ID by the femto gateway.
