MOBILITY PARAMETER ADJUSTMENT AND MOBILITY STATE ESTIMATION IN HETEROGENEOUS NETWORKS
First Claim
1. A method of operating user equipment (UE) in a wireless communications network, the method comprising:
- identifying, by the UE, a cell change type associated with a neighboring cell;
determining, by the UE, one or more mobility parameters based on the cell change type; and
executing, by the UE, a mobility procedure with the neighboring cell using the one or more mobility parameters.

Abstract
Systems and methods for mobility parameter adjustment and mobility state estimation in heterogeneous networks are provided. The mobility parameters may be adjusted based on the cell change types associated with the mobility procedure. The mobility procedure may be a cell handover procedure or a cell reselection procedure. The cell change type may be dependent on the transmission power level of the UE'"'"'s serving cell and neighboring cells. In some implementations, the UE may provide a speed information to the serving cell such that the serving eNB may prioritize or optimize the mobility procedure for the UE. The UE may also estimate its mobility state by counting the number of cell changes within certain period of time and applying scaling factors to the number of cell changes based on the associated cell change types.
