METHOD FOR CARRYING OUT A TRANSFER PROCEDURE IN A RADIO COMMUNICATION SYSTEM FOR A PACKET-SWITCHING CONNECTION AND RADIO COMMUNICATION SYSTEM SUITABLE FOR THE SAME

摘要

A packet-switching connection is set up from a mobile station (MS) through a first transceiver unit, whereby the mobile station (MS) is assigned to a first cell and a first residence zone. As the mobile station (MS) moves to a second cell and a second residence zone, the connection is assigned a residence zone change identification. A transfer procedure for the packet-oriented connection from the first cell to the second cell is carried out. After the transfer procedure a data exchange by means of the packet-switched connection is reestablished. After reestablishing the data exchange a procedure for residence zone exchange is carried out.
