1. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) configured to perform a handover, the WTRU comprising:

  • a receiver configured to receive from a current Node-B a weighting factor that is associated with a speed of the WTRU; and

    a processor configured to;

    rank a plurality of neighbor Node-Bs against the current Node-B, in order of probability of a successful handover, based on a measured signal quality of each the plurality of neighbor Node-Bs, and the weighting factor, andinitiate a handover procedure to a suitable handover candidate Node-B selected from the plurality of neighbor Node-Bs, on a condition that the rank of the suitable handover candidate Node-B is higher than the rank of the current Node-B.
