+- Extension to UE measurements and improved handover algorithm models in LTE
+  module, as the outcome of GSoC 2013 project. The project also includes several
+  sub-features, such as:
+   - implementation of System Information Block Type 1 (SIB1);
+   - a new option for automatic UE attachment using Idle mode cell selection
+     procedure;
+   - improved configurability of UE measurements; and
