Abstract
A user equipment performs a method for evaluating a need for handover between cells in a cellular network. The method includes estimating the risk of making an ineffective handover, and, when said estimated risk is above a threshold, changing the value of at least one handover trigger parameter so as to reduce the future risk of ineffective handover.
