IMPROVED INFORMATION TRANSFER

摘要

A method of handing over a mobile station in a mobile communication system to at least one target cell. Mapping if facilitated between target cell identification and serving packet radio service support node identification. An identification of allocated packet data resources is included in the handover initiation message. Mapping is utilized in exchanging resource allocation related information between the old and new serving support nodes. Adverse effects due to delays during combined SGSN change for circuit switched and packet switched services may be significantly reduced.
