Abstract
A method and apparatus for handover of a MS of a plurality of MSs to a BS of a plurality of BSs in a wireless communication network. The method includes identifying a target BS from the plurality of BSs for handover of the MS served by a serving BS. A difference between a quality of a signal received by the MS from the target BS and the quality of the signal received by the MS from the serving BS is greater than or equal to a first predefined threshold. The method further includes performing a handover for the MS from the serving BS to the target BS when the quality of the signal received by the MS from the serving BS is greater than or equal to a second predefined threshold.
