Claim Text:
1. A method comprising: receiving, via a source cell, an indication of service availability for a particular service in a target cell, wherein the indication of service availability indicates at least a change in an availability of the particular service at a region proximate to an edge of the target cell; determining whether a current transmission format of the target cell is indicative of the particular service being available at the region proximate to the edge of the target cell; switching to communication with the target cell from communication with the source cell in response to a determination that the current transmission format of the target cell indicates that the particular service is available at the region proximate to the edge of the target cell; and triggering the target cell to make an adjustment to the current transmission format in response to a determination that the current transmission format of the target cell indicates that the particular service is not available at the region proximate to the edge of the target cell, wherein the adjustment to the current transmission format comprises adjusting at least a modulation and coding scheme.
