Abstract: A method, a corresponding apparatus, and a computer program product for performing a handover in a heterogeneous network. The method comprises sending, by a source local area base station, one or more handover requests with respect to an ongoing local area an ongoing local area service to one or more neighbor local area base stations and one or more handover requests with respect to an ongoing wide area service to a wide area base station. The method also comprises receiving one or more handover commands with respect to the ongoing local area service from the one or more neighbor local area base stations and one or more messages from the wide area base station, each message including information regarding one of the one or more neighbor local area base stations. The method additionally comprises selecting, based upon the one or more received handover commands and messages, one of the one or more neighbor local area base stations as a target local area base station for service continuity of at least one of the ongoing local area service and the ongoing wide area service. With the claimed inventions, the service continuity of at least one of the ongoing local area service and the ongoing wide area service could be maintained and handover can be completed in a seamless manner.

Abstract translation: 一种用于在异构网络中执行切换的方法，相应的装置和计算机程序产品。 该方法包括由源局域基站向一个或多个相邻局域基站发送关于正在进行的本地区域的正在进行的局域服务的一个或多个切换请求以及关于正在进行的一个或多个相邻局部区域基站的一个或多个切换请求 广域服务到广域基站。 该方法还包括从一个或多个相邻局域基站接收关于正在进行的局域服务的一个或多个切换命令和来自广域基站的一个或多个消息，每个消息包括关于一个或多个 更邻近的地区基站。 该方法还包括基于一个或多个接收到的切换命令和消息来选择一个或多个邻近局域基站中的一个作为目标局域基站，用于正在进行的局域网服务中的至少一个的服务连续性，以及 正在进行的广域服务。 利用所要求保护的发明，可以保持正在进行的局域服务和正在进行的广域服务中的至少一个的服务连续性，并且以无缝的方式完成切换。
