Abstract
The present disclosure provides a method, an apparatus and a system for informing a serving cell handover, which relate to radio communication technology, and can greatly reduce delay of the handover of the HS-DSCH serving cell, decrease the drop call rate, and enhance user's experience. The method for informing a serving cell handover includes: a radio network controller (RNC) sets up a radio link with a candidate cell, and sets configuration for the candidate cell during the process of setting up the radio link; the RNC sends configuration information of the candidate cell to user equipment (UE); and after acquiring an optimum cell, the RNC informs, through an Iub interface signaling message, a target base station of sending a serving cell handover instruction to the UE. The serving cell handover instruction instructs the UE to hand over to the optimum cell according to the configuration information. The present disclosure is suitable for occasions where the serving cell hands over in the radio network.
