Abstract

Embodiments herein disclose a method for performing a handover in a wireless communication network. The method includes performing, by a network, a Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) version change for one or more radio bearers to switch from a first PDCP entity to a second PDCP entity. Further, the method includes receiving, by a User Equipment (UE), at least one of a PDCP version change indication and security key change indication from the network. Furthermore, the method includes performing, by the UE, a PDCP version change to switch from the first PDCP entity to the second PDCP entity for a configured radio bearer in response to receiving the PDCP version change indication.
