Abstract
A method for controlling the local operation of a mobile station (MS). The method comprises forming a group (10) of special cells from selected network cells and controlling the operation of the mobile station (MS) on the basis of said group (10). According to a preferred embodiment if the old and/or new cell is a special cell information on this is transmitted to the mobile station already in a handover command whereby the mobile station may refuse handover.
