A method for adjusting resource management procedures in a mobile device communicating with a node (110, 115) operating in a cell in a heterogeneous communication network, the method comprising: transmitting (705, 1205), by the mobile device, a first message to the node (110, 115), the first message including a request for cell information of the cell; receiving (710, 1210), by the mobile device, a second message transmitted from the node (110, 115), the second message including the requested cell information; measuring (715, 1215), by the mobile device, signal reception information of signals received by the mobile device or of a channel over which the mobile device receives the signals, wherein the signal reception information includes information relating to reference signal received power, RSRP, reference signal received quality, RSRQ, channel quality indicator, CQI, channel state information, CSI, and signal to interference plus noise ratio, SINR; processing (720, 1220), by the mobile device, the received cell information and the measured signal reception information to determine an adjustment to a resource management procedure; and adjusting (725, 1225), by the mobile device, the resource management procedure based on the determined adjustment, wherein the cell information includes information relating to one or more of cell size, cell type, system load, node information, maximum transmit power, maximum base station users, number of antennas, and antenna gain, and wherein the resource management procedure is a radio resource management procedure, and further wherein adjusting the radio resource management procedure includes adjusting one or more of handover, uplink power control, radio link failure recovery, and link adaptation. transmitting (705, 1205), by the mobile device, a first message to the node (110, 115), the first message including a request for cell information of the cell; receiving (710, 1210), by the mobile device, a second message transmitted from the node (110, 115), the second message including the requested cell information; measuring (715, 1215), by the mobile device, signal reception information of signals received by the mobile device or of a channel over which the mobile device receives the signals, wherein the signal reception information includes information relating to reference signal received power, RSRP, reference signal received quality, RSRQ, channel quality indicator, CQI, channel state information, CSI, and signal to interference plus noise ratio, SINR; processing (720, 1220), by the mobile device, the received cell information and the measured signal reception information to determine an adjustment to a resource management procedure; and adjusting (725, 1225), by the mobile device, the resource management procedure based on the determined adjustment, wherein the cell information includes information relating to one or more of cell size, cell type, system load, node information, maximum transmit power, maximum base station users, number of antennas, and antenna gain, and wherein the resource management procedure is a radio resource management procedure, and further wherein adjusting the radio resource management procedure includes adjusting one or more of handover, uplink power control, radio link failure recovery, and link adaptation.
