Abstract:
1. A handover method, comprising the steps of: receiving, by a base station from a user equipment, a cell measurement result for a neighboring cell; determining, by the base station, whether the neighboring cell is a close neighboring cell based on the cell measurement result, wherein the neighboring cell is determined as the close neighboring cell if an intensity value of a reference signal with the neighboring cell which is a subject of the cell measurement is greater than a first threshold value and an intensity value of a reference signal with a serving cell is greater than a second threshold value; calculating, by the base station, a ratio of the close neighboring cells in all neighboring cells; and if the ratio exceeds a handover threshold value, transmitting, by the base station to the user equipment, a handover command instructing the user equipment to perform handover to a target cell.
