First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- identifying a strong device to device communication based on a report received from a device;
determining whether to hand over at least one device based on whether the at least one device is part of strong device to device communication; and
triggering handover of the at least one device, based on the determining, when handing over the device places more strong device to device communications under a single controlling node.

Abstract
Various communication systems may benefit from properly triggered handovers. For example, certain communication systems may benefit from device-to-device interference triggered handovers. A method may include identifying, at a device, at least one strong device to device communication. The method may also include reporting, or initiating the reporting, the at least one strong device to device communication to a controlling node, wherein the controlling node is configured to control the device.

6. An apparatus, comprising:
-
at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code, wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to identify a strong device to device communication based on a report received from a device; determine whether to hand over at least one device based on whether the at least one device is part of strong device to device communication; and trigger handover of the at least one device, based on the determining, when handing over the device places more strong device to device communications under a single controlling node. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)
