Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices are described for managing a handover of a UE based on consideration of both the uplink and the downlink channel conditions. A handover of a user equipment from a serving base station to a target base station may be held over, prevented or inhibited even if the downlink channel measurement events are triggered and reported based on consideration of the uplink and the downlink metrics. Such determination may also be based on weight factors associated with the uplink and the downlink metrics. The weight factors may communicate to the base station a relative value of the uplink and the downlink transmission for a user equipment. In other examples, a handover of the user equipment may be either initiated or held over based on a calculation of a loading delta that indicates an overall gain or loss that may be realized between the serving base station and the target base station.
