Abstract
A method is provided for handing over a user equipment (UE). The method includes a donor access node with which the UE is in communication via a relay node receiving UE handover context information. The method further includes the donor access node using the UE handover context information to identify data packets that belong to the UE and are to be forwarded from the donor access node to a target access node.
