Method for relocating the diversity point of a mobile station in a radio access network
First Claim
1. Method for relocating a mobile station (UE) in a communication network, comprising a core network (CN) and a radio communication network (RAN) with at least one first and one second radio network controller (UPS), with the option of handing over management of the mobile station (UE) and/or the transmission of data to be transmitted to the mobile station (UE) from the first radio network controller (S-UPS) to the second radio network controller (T-UPS) characterized in that data which arrives at the first radio network controller (S-UPS) after a handover or is stored there temporarily, is transmitted using a functionality of the first radio network controller (S-UPS) to a corresponding functionality of the second radio network controller (T-UPS) and forwarded from there to the mobile station (UE).

Abstract
A mobile station communicates in a communication network formed of a core network and a radio access network with at least one first and one second radio network control device. The management of the mobile station or the transmission of data to be transmitted to the mobile station is handed over from the first radio network control device to the second radio network control device. To facilitate relocation, data that arrive after handover at the first radio network control device or that are temporarily stored there are transmitted to corresponding functionality of the second radio network control device using a functionality of the first radio network control device and are forwarded from the second radio network control device to the mobile station.
