A method for improvement of handover quality in mobile radio systems, the method comprising the steps of: 1a) detecting, at the serving node, the signal quality of the signal transmitted from the serving node to a UE, being worse than a predefined threshold; 1b) identifying, at the serving node, the node(s) transmitting to the UE the strongest signals interfering with the signals being transmitted to the UE by the serving node; 1c) sending, by the serving node, a request for starting an inter-cell interference coordination scheme to the node(s) identified in step 1b) as transmitting the strongest interference signals; 1d) rescheduling, by the nodes identified in step, the users currently being served by the nodes identified in step 1b) so as to reserve a part of the resources according to the inter-cell interference coordination scheme such that the interference, including the control channel interference, is mitigated; 1e) informing, by the nodes identified in step 1b), the serving node of the UE, which resources have been reserved in step 1d); 1f) scheduling, by the serving node, the UE to the resources reserved in step 1d); 1g) starting, by the serving node, the handover of the UE from the serving node to a target node; 1h) completing the handover of the UE; wherein step 1h) comprises the steps of: 1h1) reserving, at the serving node, the resources identified in step 1d) such that the interference, including the control channel interference, from the serving node to the UE is mitigated; 1h2) synchronizing the UE to the target node; 1h3) scheduling, by the target node, the UE to the resources reserved in step 1d); 1h4) releasing, after completing the handover in accordance to step 1h), the resources reserved in step 1d), by the node having acted as serving node during the preceding steps; and/or optionally comprising the further step of: 1h5) releasing, after completing the handover in accordance to step 1h), the resources reserved in step 1d), by the interfering nodes not involved in the handover process. 1a) detecting, at the serving node, the signal quality of the signal transmitted from the serving node to a UE, being worse than a predefined threshold; 1b) identifying, at the serving node, the node(s) transmitting to the UE the strongest signals interfering with the signals being transmitted to the UE by the serving node; 1c) sending, by the serving node, a request for starting an inter-cell interference coordination scheme to the node(s) identified in step 1b) as transmitting the strongest interference signals; 1d) rescheduling, by the nodes identified in step, the users currently being served by the nodes identified in step 1b) so as to reserve a part of the resources according to the inter-cell interference coordination scheme such that the interference, including the control channel interference, is mitigated; 1e) informing, by the nodes identified in step 1b), the serving node of the UE, which resources have been reserved in step 1d); 1f) scheduling, by the serving node, the UE to the resources reserved in step 1d); 1g) starting, by the serving node, the handover of the UE from the serving node to a target node; 1h) completing the handover of the UE; wherein step 1h) comprises the steps of: 1h1) reserving, at the serving node, the resources identified in step 1d) such that the interference, including the control channel interference, from the serving node to the UE is mitigated; 1h2) synchronizing the UE to the target node; 1h3) scheduling, by the target node, the UE to the resources reserved in step 1d); 1h4) releasing, after completing the handover in accordance to step 1h), the resources reserved in step 1d), by the node having acted as serving node during the preceding steps; and/or optionally comprising the further step of: 1h5) releasing, after completing the handover in accordance to step 1h), the resources reserved in step 1d), by the interfering nodes not involved in the handover process. 1h1) reserving, at the serving node, the resources identified in step 1d) such that the interference, including the control channel interference, from the serving node to the UE is mitigated; 1h2) synchronizing the UE to the target node; 1h3) scheduling, by the target node, the UE to the resources reserved in step 1d); 1h4) releasing, after completing the handover in accordance to step 1h), the resources reserved in step 1d), by the node having acted as serving node during the preceding steps; and/or optionally comprising the further step of: 1h5) releasing, after completing the handover in accordance to step 1h), the resources reserved in step 1d), by the interfering nodes not involved in the handover process.
