Systems and methods for handling undesirable inter-frequency cell changes are disclosed. A small cell base station receives a request to perform a cell change of a user equipment (UE) from a base station serving the UE to the small cell base station, wherein the base station serving the UE is operating on a different frequency than the small cell base station, receives, from the base station, parameters related to one or more previous cell changes performed by the UE, and determines whether or not the cell change is desirable based on the parameters related to the one or more previous cell changes.
