Abstract
In a hierarchical micro/macro-cell network, a mobile station will be handed over from a microcell to a macrocell if a number of microcells recognize the mobile station as fast, so that the fast moving mobile stations do not cause a considerable number of handovers between microcells, which make the call control difficult. However, in order to avoid unnecessary switches up to macrocells, a mobile station and the call are handed over to a macrocell only when the mobile station is recognized as fast in a sufficient number of microcells.
