Abstract
A method of operating a radio access network may include providing neighbor cell information identifying neighbor cells of a source cell and respective neighbor scrambling codes of the neighbor cells. A report may be received from a wireless terminal through the source cell with the report identifying a reported scrambling code of a reported cell and at least one detected scrambling code of at least one detected cell other than the reported cell. One of the neighbor cells may be selected as a target cell based on the reported scrambling code, the at least one detected scrambling code, and the neighbor cell information.
