Abstract: A method by a wireless device includes determining whether one or more conditions for triggering measurement reporting have occurred and triggering the measurement reporting based on the occurrence of the one or more conditions. The one or more conditions for triggering the measurement reporting are based on at least one of: a timing advance value in a source cell; the wireless device being within a pre-determined distance of a satellite node serving the source cell and/or a candidate target cell of the wireless device; an expected time for the wireless device to be served in the source cell and/or in the candidate target cell; an elevation angle of the satellite node serving the source cell and/or the candidate target cell; a point in time configured by the network is reached; detection of an identifier associated with a specific cell.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method in a target radio base station (14) for enabling a handover of a connection to a user equipment (13) from a source cell (12) to a target cell (11) associated with a target cell identity. The source cell (12) is served by a source radio base station (15) and the target cell (11) is served by the target radio base station (14). The target radio base station (14) and the source radio base station (15) are comprised in a radio communications network (100) and the target radio base station (14) is adapted to be connected to a gateway node (16) associated with a network node identity. The gateway node (16) is acting as a proxy for the target radio base station (14) towards a core network (17) and towards the source radio base station (15). The target radio base station broadcasts, periodically within the target cell (11) on a radio channel to the user equipment (13), the target cell identity and a mask.
