DELIVERY OF HANDOVER COMMAND Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC H04H60/78 

FIELD: information technology.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to apparatus for transmitting information in a wireless network. A delta configuration is transmitted to UE requesting handover, wherein the delta configuration details changes that are required for the current UE configuration in order to execute the handover. The handover is initiated via a measurement report transmitted to a currently serving source eNode B from the UE. The measurement report can contain one or more of current radio conditions, current UE configuration or a preferred target eNode B if the handover is an inter eNode B handover. In a inter eNB handover, the current UE configuration is forwarded to the preferred target eNode B by the source eNode B. The target eNode B generates the delta configuration and transmits it to the source eNode B in a transparent container which is subsequently forwarded to the UE.

EFFECT: improved communication between UE and another serving eNode B.
