Abstract
A method and system for dynamically controlling coverage measurement in a system in which a UE is served concurrently on at least two air-interface connections including a first air-interface connection with a first access node and a second air-interface connection with a second access node and in which the UE applies a dynamic power sharing to control uplink transmit power of the UE respectively on each connection. In an example method, the UE's power headroom on the first connection is determined and is used as a basis to control a handover measurement threshold to be applied by the UE for evaluation of coverage strength for the second connection.
