- E-UTRAN and also referred to as UTRAN-LTE is presently under consideration within the 3GPP.
- Step 1 The UE is triggered to send a MEASUREMENT REPORT by the rules set by system information, specification etc.
- Step 2 The Source eNB makes a decision based on the MEASUREMENT
- the Source eNB prepares the target eNB for handover and passes relevant information in the Handover Request.
- Step 3 The Target eNB prepares the HO with L1/L2 and responds to the source eNB by providing new C-RNTI and possibly other parameters such as access parameters, SIBs, etc. After reception of the accepted preparation of HO, the source eNB begins forwarding data packets to the target eNB.
- Step 4 The UE receives a HANDOVER COMMAND with necessary parameters such as the new C-RNTI, possible starting time, target eNB SIBs, etc. The UE may need to acknowledge reception of the HO COMMAND with a RLC acknowledgment procedure (e.g., in GSM there is no acknowledgment).
- a RLC acknowledgment procedure e.g., in GSM there is no acknowledgment.
- Step 5 After expiry of the starting time in the HO COMMAND, the UE performs synchronization to the target eNB and then begins acquiring the UL timing advance.
- Step 6 The network responds with UL allocation and timing advance.
- Step 7a The target eNB informs the success of the HO to the source eNB, which can then clear already forwarded data from its buffers.
- the source eNB still continues forwarding UE data if it has data in its buffers, or if the UPE still forwards data to it.
- Step 7b The UE location information is updated to the MME/UPE in order to enable the UPE to forward packets directly to the target eNB.

- Timer_Tl 12F is provided at the eNBs 12, 12' and the Timer_T2 1OE is provided at the UE 10.
- Timer_Tl 12F is defined as a HO guard timer of the eNB 12, 12', and in the example shown in Figure 3 Timer Tl is used by the target eNB 12', and is started at the time that the target eNB 12' sends the Context Confirm message to the source eNB 12 as in Step 3.
- Timer_Tl 12F is used to check that a signal is received from the UE 10 by Step 5 or 6 at the latest.
- Timer Tl 12F is after successful completion of Step 5 or 6.
- Timer Tl 12F is used by the source eNB 12, is started after Step 4, and is stopped when reaching Step 7a.
- Timer_T2 1OF is defined as a HO guard timer of the UE 10, and may be started when the UE 10 sends the Measurement Report to the source eNB such as at Step 1, i.e., when the UE 10 expects to receive HO Command from the source eNB 12 as in Step 4.
- a suitable condition to stop Timer_T2 1 OF is at the successful completion of Step 4.
- Timer Tl and Timer_T2 may be considered as cell-specific network system parameters, and the maximum duration of Timer_Tl and Timer_T2 is preferably less than the allowed or expected HO execution time.
- the value for Timer_T2 may be sent to, and subsequently updated in, the UE 10 in, for example, cell-specific broadcast system information.
- Timer Tl and Timer_T2 times out, i.e., reaches the maximum allowed time value measured in, for example, milliseconds or seconds, then it can be assumed that an error has occurred during the HO signaling message flow, and corrective action can be taken.
- the target eNB 12' may notify the source eNB 12 of the time-out of Timer l and may provide any related information updates as shown in Figure 3, for convenience, as message 4a.
- the source eNB 12B may begin paging the ACTIVE state UE 10 in the current cell as shown in Figure 3, for convenience, as message 4b.
- the paging can occur by whatever suitable technique is selected for use in E-UTRAN.
- the content of a Paging Cause and a Paging Record sent to the UE 10 may repeat all of the content of HO Command, including the new C-RNTI with the most recent valid updates.
- the target eNB 12' may also page the ACTIVE state UE 10 in the target cell and, in this case, the content of the paging message can be similar to that sent by the source eNB 12 to facilitate the HO as shown in Figure 3, for convenience, as an optional message 4c.
- the source eNB 12 begins paging the ACTIVE state UE in the current cell as in message 4b in Figure 3.
- the content of a Paging Cause and a Paging Record sent to the UE 10 may repeat all of the content of HO Command, including the new C-RNTI with the most recent valid updates.
- the UE 10 In the event that Timer_T2 1OF expires, and the UE 10 does not receive the expected message(s) from the network, such as from the source eNB 12 in the current cell, the UE 10 begins listening to the paging channel of the current cell and, if possible, to the paging channel(s) of those neighboring cell(s) that the UE 10 was able to measure and report at Step 1 in Figure 3. In this case the UE 10 is enabled to receive the HO command and associated information from one of the received Pages and is enabled to respond to the received Page, and associated HO-related information, either from the source or target eNB 12, 12' and continue from Step 5 of Figure 3. That is, the UE 10 is provided the expected HO Command and associated information through an alternate signaling mechanism (i.e., through a Paging channel).
- an alternate signaling mechanism i.e., through a Paging channel
- the paging of an IDLE state UE 10 is originated from the aGW 14, and the PAGING message is formed and sent by the RRC unit 12G of the eNB 12.
- the eNB RRC unit 12G is permitted to initiate paging of an ACTIVE state UE 10 for control purposes.
- the source eNB 12 may use the currently valid, also referred to as the old C-RNTI as the UE ID for paging.
- the RRC function 12G of the target eNB 12' may use the old C-RNTI, or some other ID, of the UE 10, which is known from the context data received from the source eNB 12 in Step 2.
- the source or target eNB 12, 12' to notify the aGW 14 upon the expiry of Timer Tl so that urgent paging can be initiated from the aGW 14, and Timer_T2 may be generalized and extended so as to force the UE 10 back to the IDLE state, as from the ACTIVE state, to listen for possible urgent paging initiated by the aGW 14.
- the eNB 12 may send the HO command and related information to the aGW 14 to be included in the IDLE state page, or the eNB
- RRC functionality 12G may know that the IDLE state page initiated by the aGW 14 should include this information. In either case it is most desirable that the aGW 14 request only a subset of the eNBs located in a paging area to page the UE 10, such as only the source eNB 12 and the target eNB 12'. As such, the paging notification sent from the aGW 14 preferably includes at least the identifications of the involved source and target eNBs 12, 12'.
- Optional messages 4d and 4e in Figure 3 show this process for an example where the target eNB 12' sends a Notify message to the aGW 14, and the aGW 14 sends an IDLE state Page Notification to both the source eNB 12 and the target eNB 12'.
- the HO command and related information could be sent as part of the Notification message 4d.
- the expiration of Timer_T2 1OF has triggered the UE 10 to enter the IDLE state so as to receive the IDLE state page from one of the eNBs 12, 12' so as to perform the HO recovery process.
- the UE 10 transitions back to the IDLE state to receive the page, it is not implied that the current call is dropped. For example, a temporary state transition to IDLE may be performed for call recovery purposes so as to receive the necessary HO information. During this period the ACTIVE context of the UE 10 may remain in effect, at least for some predetermined maximum amount of time such as one set by an associated RRC 1OG timer.
- the target eNB 12 may communicate with the MME/UPE 14 to resume the LTE ACTIVE state.
- an aspect of the exemplary embodiments of this invention is in providing distributed HO-related timers (Timer l , Timer_2) at those nodes, like the eNBs 12 and UE 10, where the HO-related signaling and control resides.
- the exemplary embodiments of this invention in one aspect thereof, provide a method for HO of the UE 10 by: initiating operation of a timer in at least one of the target eNB 12' and source eNB 12 after initiation of the HO procedure (Step 4A) and, in the event the timer expires before the UE 10 can be expected to respond to a HO-related message sent from the source eNB 12, initiating (at Step 4B) a communication to the UE 10 on a Paging channel from at least one of the target eNB 12' and source eNB 12, where the communication includes information contained in the HO-related message.
- Step 4B During operation of Step 4B, and if the communication is initiated by the target eNB 12', the target eNB sends a notification to the source eNB 12, and the source eNB 12 sends the communication in a Paging channel of the serving cell.
- the target eNB 12' may also send the communication in a Paging channel of the target cell.
- the UE 10 may be in the ACTIVE state.
