Abstract

A second handover of a user equipment from a cell B to a cell C of a cellular communications network is successfully completed, wherein a successful completion of a first handover of the user equipment from a cell A of the cellular communications network to the cell B has immediately preceded the second handover. The second handover is determined as being a rapid handover at the cell B and/or the cell C based on a detection that the second handover of the user equipment has been initiated from the cell B to the cell C within a configurable period of time since the successful completion of the first handover, and the rapid handover is reported to the cell A.
