Method of performing handover and controlling thereof in a mobile communication system
First Claim
1. A method of performing a handover procedure at a source base station in a mobile communication system, the method comprising:
- transmitting, by the source base station, a first message to a target base station after a handover determination to the target base station is made;
receiving, at the source base station, a second message, from the target base station, in response to the first message; and
transmitting, by the source base station, a handover command message to a user equipment (UE) after the second message is received,wherein the first message includes data transmission and reception state information including a time duration while the UE has not transmitted data to the source base station or has not received data from the source base station before the handover,wherein the data transmission and reception state information further includes a discontinuous reception (DRX) parameter setup value used lastly by the UE and a plurality of DRX setup values set in the UE,wherein the first message is directly transmitted through an interface between the source base station and the target base station, andwherein the second message includes a UE identity and resource configuration information.

Abstract
Disclosed is method of controlling handover of a user equipment in a first base station connected with the user equipment (UE) in a mobile communication system. The first base station transmits state information to a second base station after determining handover to the second base station, wherein the state information includes at least one of information related to a connection setup state between the user equipment (UE) and the first base station and information related to a data transmission and reception state. The first base station transmits action information to the user equipment (UE), the action information being related to action to be performed by the user equipment (UE) after the user equipment (UE) performs handover. The information related to the connection setup state includes information as to whether the user equipment (UE) is in an uplink synchronized state or an uplink non-synchronization state before performing handover.

5. A base station configured to perform a handover procedure in a mobile communication system, the base station comprising:
-
a transmitter configured to transmit a first message to a target base station after handover determination to the target base station is made; and a receiver configured to receive a second message, from the target base station, in response to the first message, wherein the transmitter is further configured to transmit a handover command message to a user equipment (UE) after the second message is received, wherein the first message includes data transmission and reception state information including a time duration when the UE has not transmitted data to the base station or has not received data from the base station before the handover, wherein the data transmission and reception state information further includes a discontinuous reception (DRX) parameter setup value used lastly by the UE and a plurality of DRX setup values set in the UE, wherein the transmitter is further configured to transmit directly the first message through an interface between the base station and the target base station, and wherein the second message includes a UE identity and resource configuration information. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8)

9. A method of performing a handover procedure at a target base station in a mobile communication system, the method comprising:
-
receiving, at the target base station, a first message from a source base station after a handover determination to the target base station is made; transmitting, by the target base station, a second message, to the source base station, in response to the first message; and receiving, at the target base station, a random access preamble from a user equipment (UE) according to resource configuration information, wherein the first message includes data transmission and reception state information including a time duration when the UE has not transmitted data to the source base station or has not received data from the source base station before the handover, wherein the data transmission and reception state information further includes a discontinuous reception (DRX) parameter setup value used lastly by the UE and a plurality of DRX setup values set in the UE, wherein the first message is directly received through an interface between the source base station and the target base station, and wherein the second message includes a user equipment (UE) identity and resource configuration information. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 19)
