1. A method, comprising:

  • processing pilot symbols in a user equipment device in a radio access network, the user equipment device located in a serving cell, the serving cell having a cell-edge section and a cell-center section;

    performing handover measurement over a frequency sub-band of an operation bandwidth of the serving cell and one or more different frequency sub-bands of one or more cells adjacent to the serving cell based on the pilot symbols for obtaining a handover measurement result; and

    determining whether the user equipment is located in the cell-center section or in the cell-edge section at least partly based on a frequency reuse pattern in the operation bandwidth, wherein the frequency sub-band comprises a cell-edge frequency sub-band and a cell-center frequency sub-band, said method further comprising;

    allocating the cell-edge frequency sub-band to the user equipment device for downlink data reception in the user equipment device when the user equipment device is located in the cell-edge section, andallocating the cell-center frequency sub-band to the user equipment device for downlink data reception in the user equipment device when the user equipment device is located in the cell-center section.
