Abstract
A method for assisting in a cell re-selection procedure in a cellular communication system comprises obtaining (S1) of information comprising radio conditions and/or user equipment population related to at least a serving cell and optionally also related to at least one neighbor cell to the serving cell. The obtained information is compared (S2) with a criterion for enforced cell re-selection procedure. If the criterion for enforced cell re-selection procedure is fulfilled by the obtained information, an enforcement of, or an action for increasing the probability for causing, a cell re-selection procedure of at least one user equipment within the serving cell is initialized (S3). Devices for performing such a method are also disclosed.
