1. Handover Process
2. Handover Measurements
3. Handover Signaling
4. Mobility between 2G/3G and E-UTRAN
1. Handover Process
SRB reconfiguration
set of carrier
set of cells on a
Intra-LTE Handover:
Source and target in the LTE system
The RRC Connection Reconfiguration message with
mobility control information (parameters required for
handover) is used as a command handover
Can be either:
Between eNBs without EPC intervention (packets routed
through source eNB until HO is completed). The only
signalling to MME is the Path switch request/ACK
Via MME control if a change of MME/SGW is required

Principles
Transferring an ongoing call or data session from one cell connected to another
Transparent for the end user
Network controlled and UE assisted
3GPP defines:
Intra e-UTRAN HO
Inter RAT with 3GPP technologies (GSM, WCDMA) HO
Inter RAT with non-3GPP technologies (CDMA2000, HRPD) HO
