Abstract: Apparatus, methods, and computer-readable media for network coding for handover are disclosed herein. A base station (BS) transmits a first group of encoded packets to a first road side unit (RSU) over a first radio access network (RAN) interface. The BS initiates a handover procedure between the first RSU and a second RSU. The BS receives, from the first RSU, a release acknowledgment associated with the handover procedure and feedback associated with the first group of encoded packets. The BS transmits network coding level information to the second RSU over a second RAN interface based on the feedback. The network coding level information indicates a number of missing encoded packets within the first group of encoded packets for the second RSU to transmit to the UE. The BS transmits, to the UE, a second group of encoded packets associated with the number of missing encoded packets at the second RSU.
