Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2005125232A2] A method, and apparatus, for operating a cellular communications system (1) in which a call is handed over between a first frequency band (9) and a second frequency band (18) according to a predicted signal strength on the second frequency band (18) calculated from a signal strength measured on the first frequency band (9), and in which the call is handed back from the second frequency band (18) to the first frequency band (9) according to a signal strength measured on the second frequency band (18); comprising: counting the number of handovers between the frequency bands that take place in a first period of time; comparing the counted number of handovers with a predetermined threshold level of allowed number of handovers ; and blocking, if the counted number of handovers exceeds the predetermined threshold level of allowed number of handovers, further handovers for a second period of time.
