Abstract
A base station or a UE may use another base station's carrier-aggregation policy for a cell provided by the other base station as a basis to control handover of the UE from being served by the base station to being served by the other base station. As one example, a first base station may use a second base station's carrier-aggregation policy for at least one of multiple co-located cells provided by the second base station as a basis to control handover of the UE from being served by the first base station to being served by the second base station. As another example, a UE may use a second base station's carrier-aggregation policy for one of multiple co-located cells provided by the second base station as a basis to control cell reselection.
