METHOD FOR HANDLING OF CONNECTIONS OF WIRELESS DEVICES TO BASE STATIONS BASED ON ALTITUDE INDICATIONS

Abstract:

Disclosed is a method performed by a first base station (10) of a wireless communications network. The first base station (10) provides radio coverage to a first cell (20). The wireless communications network further comprises a second base station providing radio coverage to a second cell (40). A wireless device (50, 60), is located within the first cell (20) and is connected to the first base station (10). The method comprises receiving (202) a message from the WD (50, 60) indicating the second cell, obtaining (204) an indication of an altitude of the access point of the second base station (30), obtaining (206) an indication of an altitude of the WD (50, 60), and obtaining (208) an indication of an altitude of the access point of the first base station (10). The method further comprises handling (210) a connection of the WD (50, 60) to the first base station (10) based on the altitude indications.
