By deployment of open or hybrid access femtocells with

low coverage radius into OFDMA wireless networks, the

number of initiated handovers can rise significantly. This
results in decrease of quality of service (QoS) for user
equipment (UE). The lowering of QoS is caused by short
interruption introduced by each handover procedure [1].
The reduction of amount of performed handovers can
be achieved by conventional techniques, such as
hysteresis or time-to-trigger timer. These techniques can
be implemented also in networks with femtocells as
presented, e.g., in [2]. Nevertheless, a gain introduced
by open access femtocells [3] drops rapidly by
using conventional techniques eliminating redundant
handovers [4].
