A method for reducing the handover frequency by a communication device in femtocell networks includes the steps: measuring the radio signal strength by a communication device and storing the information of the serving base station into a cache memory; checking whether the stored information in the cache memory is classified as "femtocell" or not; if so, deleting the macrocell’s information from the measurement report by the communication device and transmitting this to the serving base station; when the radio link failure occurred, checking whether the stored information in the cache memory is classified as "femtocell" or not; if so, initiating a timer; detecting an available femtocell before the timer expires; transmitting a call reestablishment request message to the available femtocell for rebuilding the link. |
