Handover method and apparatus in a wireless telecommunications network

摘要

In handover in a wireless telecommunications network, dummy packets, or data packets with a last used sequence number indicator are transmitted from a source node eNB 2 to a target node 3. When the target node eNB 3 detects the information, it knows the sequence of data packets being received from the source node eNB 2 and which is the last one and its sequence number. Thus, data packets may be suitable ordered for delivery to a mobile terminal UE 1.
