Abstract:
Methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for handover to cell supporting multiple frequency bands are provided. One method comprises indicating, by a UE, supported bands to a serving eNB, and indicating to the serving eNB that the UE can be handed over to any band overlapping with the supported bands. The method may also include receiving the EARFCN of a target eNB from the serving eNB, and connecting to the target eNB regardless of whether the EARFCN corresponds to any band indicated by the target eNB as being supported and/or regardless of whether the EARFCN is equal to an EARFCN indicated as being used by the target eNB. The indicating may further include indicating to the serving eNB that the UE will not autonomously terminate connection with a target cell if the target eNB does not transmit in any of the indicated supported bands.
