  • UE handling of common configuration after handover
    Patent number: 8688121
    Abstract: A method for a user equipment (UE) operating in a Long Term Evolution network. The method includes the UE receiving a command for a handover from a source cell to a target cell. The method further includes, when the UE has valid stored system information for the target cell, the UE discarding a dedicated radioResourceConfigCommon information element received from the source cell in the handover command and the UE applying radio resource configuration information retrieved from the stored system information.

  • Handover latency reduction
    Patent number: 8676206
    Abstract: A UE is provided. The UE includes a processor configured such that the UE receives one or more wireless signals providing handover synchronization information of a first network component relative to one or more second network components. In another embodiment, a first network component is provided. The first network component includes a processor configured to transmit one or more signals providing handover synchronization information of the first network component relative to one or more second network components. The first network component and the one or more second network components are in different radio access networks.
