Abstract
A method of communication handover from a first communication entity (33) to a second communication entity (43) in a communication system (10) where a communication unit (80), communicating with a transceiver (23) associated with the second communication entity, is linked to the first communication entity. The invention provides for establishing a communication link between the communication unit and the second communication entity while maintaining a communication link between the communication unit and the first communication entitiy. Then, communications are substantially simultaneously transfered to the second communication entity while terminated from the first communication entity.
