Claim:
1. A method for optimizing a handover behavior of a mobile radio communication network comprising at least a first base station and a second base station, the method comprising: performing a handover of a user equipment from the first base station to the second base station, adding, by the first base station, an information element representing a property of a radio link between the user equipment and the first base station to a data record being associated with the user equipment, wherein the information element indicates at least a type of a measurement event responsible for triggering the handover of the user equipment, transmitting, by the first base station, the data record from the first base station to the second base station, and optimizing, by the first base station, the handover behavior of the mobile radio communication network based on the added information element, wherein optimizing the handover behavior comprises adapting the value of at least one handover radio threshold for triggering a handover of the user equipment between different base stations because of radio link conditions being experienced by the user equipment and/or adapting the value of at least one traffic steering parameter for changing the distribution of the radio data load between different radio cells of the mobile radio communication network.
