Abstract:
1. A method for cell handover in a communication system supporting carrier aggregation, comprising: selecting, by a source base station in the communication system after receiving from a terminal device served by the source base station a performance measurement report for one or more neighbor cells of the terminal device, an algorithm suitable for carrier aggregation manners of one or more candidate base stations corresponding to the one or more neighbor cells, based on the performance measurement report and based on the carrier aggregation manners, to calculate priorities of the one or more candidate base stations; selecting one candidate base station having a highest priority from the one or more candidate base stations, as a destination base station; selecting one or more cells to be accessed for the terminal device from all cells belonging to the destination base station in the one or more neighbor cells; and selecting one cell from the one or more cells to be accessed, as a primary cell to be accessed.
