METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR CONTROLLING HANDOVERS IN A CO-CHANNEL NETWORK
First Claim
1. A method of controlling a handover of a user equipment (UE) from a serving base station to a target base station in a heterogeneous network, the method comprising:
- determining, by a serving base station, a speed of the UE and a the type of the handover, the type of the handover being one of macro cell to macro cell, macro cell to small cell, small cell to macro cell and small cell to small cell; and
controlling, by the serving base station, the handover from the serving base station to the target base station based on the speed of the UE and the type of the handover.

Abstract
At least one example embodiment discloses a method of controlling a handover of a user equipment (UE) from a serving base station to a target base station in a heterogeneous network. The method includes determining, by a serving base station, a speed of the UE and a type of the handover, the type of the handover being one of macro cell to macro cell, macro cell to small cell, small cell to macro cell and small cell to small cell, and controlling, by the serving base station, the handover from the serving base station to the target base station based on the speed of the UE and the type of handover.

22. A base station configured to determine a speed of the UE in an area associated with the base station and control a handover from the base station to a target base station based on the speed of the UE and a type of the handover, the type of the handover being one of macro cell to macro cell, macro cell to small cell, small cell to macro cell and small cell to small cell.
-
23. A user equipment (UE) configured to perform handover measurements regarding a handover from a serving macro cell to a target small cell based on a velocity of the UE relative to the target cell.
