Abstract
An apparatus of wireless communication is configured to compute an timing advance (TA) estimate for a target cell. The TA estimate may be computed based on a measured TA for the serving cell and a time difference between a cell-specific reference signal (CRS) from the serving cell and a CRS from the target cell. The apparatus is also configured to determine whether an overshoot condition has occurred based on the timing advance estimate for the target cell. Furthermore, the apparatus is configured to refrain from triggering a handover to the target cell if an overshoot condition has occurred.
