Assignee: NOKIA TECHNOLOGIES OY
Field: Digital communication (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. An apparatus comprising:
at least one processor; and
at least one non-transitory memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to:
associate communication beams into at least two different groups, where at least one of the groups has at least two of the communication beams;

based upon beam-group specific key performance indicators, where the beam-group specific key performance indicators have been based upon the association of the communication beams into the at least two different groups, use the beam-group specific key performance indicators to determine at least one beam-group specific mobility parameter for at least one of the groups of communication beams;
wherein the at least one beam-group specific mobility parameter comprises a first cell individual offset and a second cell individual offset;
increase the first cell individual offset for a first group of beams associated with a first geographical area comprising at least one faster moving user equipment relative to at least one slower moving user equipment of a second geographical area; and
decrease the second cell individual offset for a second group of beams associated with the second geographical area comprising the at least one slower moving user equipment relative to the at least one faster moving user equipment of the first geographical area; and
transmit the at least one beam-group specific mobility parameter to a base station;
wherein the at least one beam-group specific mobility parameter is related to handover initiation.
