Here two scenarios are possible:
- First scenario, target eNodeB and source eNodeB both have connection with same MME
- Second scenario, when both the eNodeBs are connected to different MMEs ?

Below timers uses source eNB during s1 HO ...

TS1RELOCprep
- Specifies the maximum time for the Handover Preparation procedure in the source eNB.
TS1RELOCoverall
- Specifies the maximum time for the protection of the overall handover procedure in the source eNB.

Just to add one more point here .

Source eNodeB starts TS1RELOCoverall timer once it receives "Handover Command" from the MME . Before that Handover Preparation timer i.e. TS1RELOCprep runs and source eNodeB stops this timer soon after "Handover command" receives.

How do we validate this scenario, as I don't see any call flow in the spec for this?
