Abstract
An apparatus for enabling dual mode communication may include a processor. The processor may be configured to receive (), via a source cell, an indication of service availability for a particular service in a target cell, determine () whether a current transmission format of the target cell is indicative of the particular service being available at a region proximate to an edge of the target cell, switch to communication with the target cell from communication with the source cell in response to a determination that the current transmission format of the target cell indicates that the particular service is available' at the region proximate to the edge of the target cell, and trigger () the target cell to make an adjustment () to the transmission format to cover cell edge area in response to a determination that the current transmission format of the target cell indicates that the particular service is not available at the region proximate to the edge of the target cell. A corresponding method and computer program product are also provided.
