Abstract
A node for a communication system that is configured to communicate with a mobile node via a first connection and to communicate with a third node via a first forwarding path is disclosed. After a procedure for handover of the first connection to a second connection between the mobile node and a target network node is initiated, data is communicated from the node to the third node for transmission to the target network node via a second forwarding path. The third node is configured to receive the data and to forward it to the target network node.
