    摘要: Methods, corresponding apparatuses, and computer program products for mobility control in a heterogeneous network are provided. The method comprises sending, by a source local area base station (e.g., a source access point), a handover request for handing over a user equipment to a target local area base station (e.g., a target access point), wherein the source and target local area base stations are connected with a same wide area base station and the user equipment is connected with the same wide area base station via the source local area base station. The method also comprises handing over, based on a handover request acknowledgement from the target local area base station, the user equipment to the target local area base station for continuing with at least one of an ongoing local area service and an ongoing wide area service without changing security keys of the same wide area base station. With the claimed inventions, the handover latency and service continuity during the inter-AP mobility would be efficiently improved in a secure manner.

    摘要: Disclosed is a method of managing an X2 interface, a handover method, an interference coordination method and an apparatus for LTE and LTE-Advanced system. X2 interface management includes: finding by a first eNB, a new neighboring cell, i.e., a second cell corresponding to a second HeNB; determining by the first eNB, an access mode of the second cell; and establishing a first X2 interface between the first eNB and the second HeNB when the access mode of the second cell is an open mode or a hybrid mode. The X2 interface may be managed dynamically and the mode for establishing the X2 interface, such as direct X2 interface or gateway-proxied X2interface, may be selected. The expansible problem and system overhead due to the X2interface in the LTE and LTE-Advanced system may be reduced effectively to better support handover and interference coordination.
