  • receiving an offset value for measurement reporting;

    determining that a signal strength of a serving cell is higher than a radio link failure threshold of the serving cell by no more than the offset for measurement reporting;

    detecting a presence of a candidate cell; and

    transmitting a measurement report to the serving cell indicating the presence of the candidate cell if the signal strength of the serving cell is higher than the radio link failure threshold of the serving cell by no more than the offset for measurement reporting,wherein the method further comprises determining that the mobile station is allowed to access the candidate cell, and wherein transmitting comprises transmitting the measurement report to the serving cell if the signal strength of the serving cell is higher than the radio link failure threshold of the serving cell by no more than the offset for measurement reporting, and if the mobile station is allowed to access the candidate cell.
