Abstract

Embodiments of user equipment (UE) and method for adaptively selecting an A3offset-TTT pair for handover in a wireless access network are generally described herein. In some embodiments, the UE may select an A3offset value based on target cell Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) and select a time-to-trigger (TTT) based on serving cell RSRP. A measurement report may be transmitted to an eNodeB for handover when the target cell RSRP exceeds the serving cell RSRP by at least the A3offset value for the TTT. The A3offset value may be selected to be inversely related to the target cell RSRP and the TTT may be selected to be directly related to the serving cell RSRP.
