A mobile station (MS) and method for base station handover from a source cell of a source base station to a target cell of a target base station in a packet-switched cellular radio network. While the MS is still in the source cell, the MS receives from the network, a handover command message and information regarding a next expected uplink packet for a packet flow subject to lossless packet-switched handover. Upon arrival of the MS in the target cell, the MS transmits an uplink sequence number status message to the target base station providing a downlink sequence number status for the packet flow, and starts uplink data transmission to the target base station beginning with the next expected uplink packet. |
