A handover method in a wireless communication system comprising a source transmission and reception point, TRP , and a target TRP , the method comprising: the source TRP obtaining first handover triggering information identifying a first handover triggering condition, the first handover triggering information comprising first beam information indicating a first set of beam characteristics (s302); the source TRP communicating with a user equipment, UE , using a high-gain beam having a second set of beam characteristics (s304); the source TRP obtaining second beam information indicating the second set of beam characteristics (s306); the source TRP determining whether the first handover triggering condition is present (s308); and as a result of determining that the first handover triggering condition is present, the source TRP initiating a handover of the UE from the source TRP to the target TRP (s310), wherein determining whether the first handover triggering condition is present comprises determining whether the second set of beam characteristics of the high-gain beam that is being used by the source TRP to communicate with the UE matches the first set of beam characteristics, wherein the first beam information comprises first beam direction information, the second beam information comprises second beam direction information indicating the direction of the high-gain beam that is being used to communicate with the UE, and wherein determining whether the second set of beam characteristics matches the first set of beam characteristics comprises determining whether the second beam direction information is substantially identical to the first beam direction information. the source TRP obtaining first handover triggering information identifying a first handover triggering condition, the first handover triggering information comprising first beam information indicating a first set of beam characteristics (s302); the source TRP communicating with a user equipment, UE , using a high-gain beam having a second set of beam characteristics (s304); the source TRP obtaining second beam information indicating the second set of beam characteristics (s306); the source TRP determining whether the first handover triggering condition is present (s308); and as a result of determining that the first handover triggering condition is present, the source TRP initiating a handover of the UE from the source TRP to the target TRP (s310), wherein determining whether the first handover triggering condition is present comprises determining whether the second set of beam characteristics of the high-gain beam that is being used by the source TRP to communicate with the UE matches the first set of beam characteristics, wherein the first beam information comprises first beam direction information, the second beam information comprises second beam direction information indicating the direction of the high-gain beam that is being used to communicate with the UE, and wherein determining whether the second set of beam characteristics matches the first set of beam characteristics comprises determining whether the second beam direction information is substantially identical to the first beam direction information. <EOS>
