APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR HANDOVER IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

An apparatus and method provide an effective handover of a User Equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system from a macro evolved Node-B (eNB) to a relay eNB). In a method of supporting a handover of a User Equipment (UE) by a macro evolved Node-B (eNB) in a wireless communication system, a handover of the UE to a relay eNB is determined. A handover request and RRC connection setup message is transmitted to the relay eNB by integrating a handover request message for requesting a handover of the UE and an RRC connection setup message for requesting RRC connection setup between the macro eNB and the relay eNB. A handover request response and RRC connection setup response message are received from the relay eNB by integrating a handover request response message and an RRC connection setup response message.
