Abstract
The invention relates to a handover method for redirecting an ongoing communication of a connected cellular device (UE) from a serving cell (SRV_C) to a target cell (TGT_C). Both cells (SRV_C, TGT_C) belong to a network. The method comprises receiving, in the connected cellular device (UE), a cell attenuation measurement, a supplemental hysteresis parameter which value depends on the load of the target cell (TGT_C), and a threshold parameter. The method comprises comparing, in the connected cellular device (UE), an additive combination of the cell attenuation measurement, of a hysteresis parameter and of the supplemental hysteresis parameter with the threshold parameter. The method comprises sending, from the connected cellular device (UE), a measurement report to the network, if the result of the comparison remains positive during a given duration. The invention also relates to a cellular device (UE) and to a computer program implementing the aforementioned method.
