Abstract
A method for managing handover of a mobile station from a macro cell to a femto cell comprises selecting a candidate set of target femto cells from a plurality of femto cells by applying a plurality of different filters, each filter filtering by at least one femto cell attribute. The filters may be applied successively and arranged to remove all but the most likely candidate target femto cells from further consideration.
