Patent ID: 8649790

Claim:
A method in a base station for configuring a wireless terminal for performing a cell reselection or handover evaluation process, the base station comprised in a radio access network and configured to communicate with the wireless terminal over an air interface, the wireless terminal arranged to perform multiple evaluation processes in parallel that are governed by different sets of mobility parameters, the method comprising: establishing a mobility state of the wireless terminal, wherein said establishing comprises establishing the speed with which the wireless terminal moves, determining, based on the established mobility state of the wireless terminal, whether or not the terminal shall perform any of the multiple evaluation processes in parallel for evaluating cell reselection or handover, wherein the multiple evaluation processes are associated with respective speeds that the wireless terminal moves with, if determined that the wireless terminal shall perform at least some of the multiple evaluation processes in parallel: selecting at least two of the multiple evaluation processes based on the established mobility state of the wireless terminal, each of the selected processes comprising one or more mobility parameters that shall be used by the wireless terminal; and signaling an identifier to the wireless terminal that indicates said determination to the terminal and that identifies the at least two selected evaluation processes; and if determined that the wireless terminal shall not perform any of the multiple evaluation processes in parallel: selecting one of the multiple evaluation processes based on the established mobility state of the wireless terminal, the selected process comprising one or more mobility parameters that shall be used by the wireless terminal; and signaling an identifier to the wireless terminal that indicates said determination to the terminal and that identifies the selected one of the multiple evaluation processes.
