Abstract
A method and a system for transferring an ongoing communication in which a mobile terminal is involved between a first and a second base stations of a wireless cellular telecommunication network. One of the base stations is located in a moving conveyance. The first base station obtains information indicating that the first base station will become a neighbor of the second base station, identifies a mobile terminal which is currently under communication with a remote telecommunication device through the first base station, transfers a message to the second base station requesting the second base station to prepare resources enabling the continuation of the communication through the second base station, obtains information indicating that the first base station has become a neighbor of the second base station, and transfers the ongoing communication in which the mobile terminal is involved to the second base station.
