CAUSE VALUE ENCODING FOR HANDOVERS IN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK

摘要

According to an embodiment there is provided a first network node (122) for use in a wireless network (100), the first network node (122) being adapted to forward information on movements of a wireless device to a second network node (124) over an interface(106; 108); wherein the information on movements is represented by a cause value in a first field that uses an interface-dependent encoding and a cause value in a second field that uses an interface-independent encoding. A corresponding second network nodeand methods of operating the network nodes are also provided.
