Patent number: 9503946Abstract: Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, are provided for mobility estimation in networks including small cells. In one aspect there is provided a method. The method may include receiving, at a user equipment, at least one of a first time value and a second time value, the first time value being configured for use towards a small cell and configured to have a duration to inhibit a hand over of the user equipment to the small cell, the second time value being configured for use towards a macro cell; and sending, by the user equipment, a measurement report including information representative of at least one of the small cell and the macro cell, the sending being delayed by the first time value, when the user equipment is evaluating the small cell, and by the second time value, when the user equipment is evaluating the macro cell. Related apparatus, systems, methods, and articles are also described.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2013Date of Patent: November 22, 2016Assignee: NOKIA CORPORATIONInventors: Lars Dalsgaard, Mikko Saily, Per Henrik Michaelsen, Simone Barbera
