Abstract
The invention relates to a method for supporting cell change between frequency layers. The method is performed in a Radio Network node of a wireless communication network deploying two frequency layers. The Radio Network node serves a User Equipment in a cell of a first of the two frequency layers. The User Equipment is configured to perform measurements on the first frequency layer, and to exclude measurements on a second of the two frequency layers. The method comprises receiving information from the User Equipment related to a coverage of a target cell of the second frequency layer, and determining whether to change to the target cell based on the received information.
