Abstract
A method of detecting a cell spot of a first base station in a cellular communication network using a mobile device being moved through the cell spot is provided. The method includes performing a first handover of the mobile device from a second base station to the first base station. A first value indicative of a distance between the mobile device and the first base station is determined. A second handover of the mobile device from the first base station is performed. A second value based on the time between the first and the second handover is determined. Information indicative of the cell spot is stored after determining the first value is above the first threshold and the second value is below the second threshold. A subsequent handover request for performing a handover from the second base station to the first base station is rejected after the information is stored.
