Abstract: Embodiments of a base station and method for early handover using uplink channel characteristics in a wireless network are generally described herein. In some embodiments, a method for handover determination is performed by an enhanced node B (eNB) operating as a serving cell base station. In these embodiments, a handover decision is based on a signal level of uplink transmissions of user equipment (UE) measured at a target cell base station in addition to signal levels of downlink signals of the target cell base station and downlink signals of a serving cell base station measured at the UE.

Abstract: A technology for a user equipment (UE) that is operable to connect to a third generation partnership project (3GPP) long term evolution (LTE) cell in a cellular network. Logged minimization of drive test (MDT) measurements can be recorded at the UE at a selected rate when the UE is in a radio resource control (RRC) idle mode in a first LTE cell in a cellular network. A change in a UE state of the RRC idle mode can be identified. The Logged MDT measurements can stop being recorded at the UE when the UE state changes from a camped normally UE state to another UE state of the RRC idle mode. The Logged MDT measurements can resume being recorded when the UE state changes to the camped normally UE state of the RRC idle mode.
