A method for regulating handovers between access points of a wireless communication network, the method comprising an access point: determining that a mobile device is experiencing frequent handovers between access points based on the handover history of the mobile device which includes time spent by the mobile device being served by one or more past access points prior to being served by the access point; determining a cause of the frequent handovers of the mobile device; classifying frequent handovers of the mobile device based on the cause of the handovers, wherein the classifying of the frequent handovers includes classifying a frequent handover as a ping-pong handover or a fast moving device handover; wherein the frequent handover is classified as the ping-pong handover if a number of handovers occur between an access point which is a radio frequency, RF, neighbor of a current access point or if an access point identity repeats a number of times in the number of handovers; wherein classifying the frequent handover as the fast moving device handover occurs when the handover is not classified as a ping-pong handover; and regulating frequent handovers of the mobile device based on handover classification, wherein regulating frequent handovers of the mobile device based on handover classification includes: when the frequent handover is classified as the fast moving device handover, initiating handover to a macrocell characterized in that the macrocell is on another carrier or radio technology or when the frequent handover is classified as the ping-pong handover, adjusting one or more handover triggering parameters to delay triggering of handover by the mobile device or access points. determining that a mobile device is experiencing frequent handovers between access points based on the handover history of the mobile device which includes time spent by the mobile device being served by one or more past access points prior to being served by the access point; determining a cause of the frequent handovers of the mobile device; classifying frequent handovers of the mobile device based on the cause of the handovers, wherein the classifying of the frequent handovers includes classifying a frequent handover as a ping-pong handover or a fast moving device handover; wherein the frequent handover is classified as the ping-pong handover if a number of handovers occur between an access point which is a radio frequency, RF, neighbor of a current access point or if an access point identity repeats a number of times in the number of handovers; wherein classifying the frequent handover as the fast moving device handover occurs when the handover is not classified as a ping-pong handover; and regulating frequent handovers of the mobile device based on handover classification, wherein regulating frequent handovers of the mobile device based on handover classification includes: when the frequent handover is classified as the fast moving device handover, initiating handover to a macrocell characterized in that the macrocell is on another carrier or radio technology or when the frequent handover is classified as the ping-pong handover, adjusting one or more handover triggering parameters to delay triggering of handover by the mobile device or access points.
