METHOD AND APPARATUS TO EFFICIENTLY PERFORM HANDOVER BETWEEN SMALL CELLS IN MOBILE COMMUNICATION NETWORKS

摘要

The present invention relates to a procedure and method for managing small cells belonging to a macro cell in a group unit for effective handover between small cells in a mobile communication system. Contents according to an embodiment of the present invention include a method for effectively grouping small cells, a method for a terminal to obtain group information, a method for a terminal to handover to a specific group, and a hand to a specific group to prevent frequent handovers of the terminal. It includes a method of limiting overtime, a method of performing fast handover through group handover, and the like. Accordingly, a method for efficiently and accurately performing mobile cell-related handover can be provided.
