FIELD: physics, communications.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to wireless communication. In a wireless communication system in which a user using mobile equipment requests a serving cell handover from a source cell to a target cell, the mobile equipment monitors authorisation for the handover from the target cell. At the same time, the mobile equipment can decode data from either the source cell or the target cell. Upon receiving authorisation for the handover, the mobile equipment sends confirmation of the handover to the target cell.
EFFECT: providing a reliable and fast scheme for serving cell change and reducing cell change failures which lead to abrupt ending of a communication session.
