Abstract

Techniques for handover procedure management are described herein. An example method may include monitoring, at a target base station, reference signal information associated with a UE based on a reference signal configuration of the UE received by the target base station from a source base station. Additionally, the example method may include estimating, at the target base station, timing information for the UE based on the reference signal information. Further, the example method may include transmitting, by the target base station, the timing information to the source base station, where the source base station provides the timing information to the UE for handover to the target base station.
