1. An apparatus for use with a moving vehicle, the apparatus comprising:
antenna circuitry configured to communicate with a main cell using an antenna configuration;
configuration circuitry configured to perform an analysis process in which the antenna configuration is changed to communicate with and create a measurement of each of a plurality of candidate cells including the main cell, and to provide a result of the analysis process to the main cell; and
control circuitry configured to cause the configuration circuitry to perform the analysis process with a predetermined period,
wherein the control circuitry is configured to dynamically change the predetermined period based on at least one characteristic of a received signal of the main cell, and
wherein the at least one characteristic of the received signal of the main cell comprises a quality of the received signal of the main cell and a signal strength of the received signal of the main cell,
wherein the control circuitry is configured to dynamically change the predetermined period by weighting the quality of the received signal of the main cell by a quality weighting and by weighting the signal strength of the received signal of the main cell by a strength weighting to produce the predetermined period.
