1. An apparatus provided at a mobile relay node, the apparatus comprising:
- a processor configured to;
detect whether a handover of a user equipment from the mobile relay node to a target cell is required,if the handover is required, set an actual mobility state of the user equipment to a mobility state of the mobile relay node, andsend the actual mobility state of the user equipment, which has been set to the mobility state of the mobile relay node, to a network element of the target cell.
