Abstract
A method for handover in a mobile communication system, wherein cell search is performed by determining cell identities based on cell identity information transmitted within downlink data is provided. The cell power of cells detected by cell search is measured. Moreover, the cell power of an additional cell is measured, the additional cell having a cell identity that is related to a cell identity of a cell detected by cell search in that the additional cell and the cell detected by cell search are adjacent cells. The method is applicable in cross-sector scenarios avoiding call drops due to lengthy cell detection.
