Controlling handover

The embodiment of the invention relates to controlling handover. An apparatus and a method for controlling handover are disclosed. The solution comprises obtaining (300) information on slices supported by surrounding base stations; obtaining (302) information on overloaded slices used by surrounding base stations; receiving (304) a measurement report from a user terminal utilizing slices in the communication; determining (306) based on the measurement report that a handover is needed for the user terminal; selecting (308)from the surrounding base stations a target base station for handover based on the measurement report, slices supported by the base stations and the information on the overloaded slices. 本公开的实施例涉及控制切换。公开了一种用于控制切换的装置和方法。该解决方案包括获得(300)关于由周围基站支持的切片的信息；获得(302)关于由周围基站使用的过载切片的信息；从在通信中利用切片的用户终端接收(304)测量报告；基于测量报告，确定(306)针对用户终端的切换被需要；基于测量报告、由基站支持的切片以及关于过载切片的信息，从周围基站中选择(308)用于切换的目标基站。
