First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method to perform a handover of a mobile equipment from a source network to a target network in a mobile telecommunication system, the method comprising:
- data;
buffering data which may be transferred via the source network to the mobile equipment when the mobile equipment is linked to the source network, in a network element when a need for a handover arises; and
forwarding the data buffered in the network element from the network element to the target network for transferring the data to the mobile equipment after the mobile equipment has been linked to the target network.
