Method and apparatus for handling a HSDPA handover within a mobile communications network

摘要

The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for handling a handover of a transmission connection between a user equipment and a network node serving cells within a mobile communications network. An aspect of the invention is a method for handling a handover of a transmission connection between a user equipment and a network node serving cells within a mobile communications network, whose serving cells serving the user equipment provide control information on shared control channels, whereby during the handover a limited amount of shared control channels are monitored by the user equipment. Hereby a first part of the amount of shared control channels is associated with a first serving cell and a second part of said amount of shared channels is associated with a second serving cell, over that the transmission connection should be handed. In particular corresponding reordering of priority queues (Prio 1, Prio 2) in the network node (Node B 2) with respect to the transmission connection are maintained by the user equipment. A further aspect of the invention is an apparatus comprising means for performing the above mentioned method.
