<p>A network node for performing a handover to a router in a communication network comprises a receiver (101) configured for receiving a time schedule signal from the router, the time schedule signal comprising information on an advertisement time instant at which the router transmits a router advertisement signal which comprises information required for communicating via the router, a detector (103) configured for deriving the information on the advertisement time instant from the time schedule signal, and a processor (105) configured for determining, based on the advertisement time instant, a handover time instant at which to initialise the handover to the router and for initialising the handover to the router at the handover time instant. Therefore, handover latency is reduced.</p> |
