Actually handover required only at the cell edges since UE experiences lower RSRP value for source and better for target eNodeB. Based of couple of scenarios handover types are defined.
1. Backward handover.
2. RLF handover
3. NAS Recovery
4. Forward handover.

  1. Backward handover is normal handover, in which source eNodeB start handover and target eNodeB allocated required resources for handover. In normal call flow of handover, handover command message is prepared by target eNodeB and send by source eNodeB to UE.

  2. When UE is not able to decode Handover command due to poor channel conditions. RLF happen and UE latch on target as part of RRC Connection -Restablishment .

  3. Due to extremely poor channel condition, eNodeB could not decode measurement report which is sent by UE. In that situation, even eNodeB doesn't aware that UE is experiencing poor channel condition and after some time UE lost the connection with source eNodeB and send Re-establishment . Since target eNodeB is not prepared (it means target eNodeB doesn't have valid Ue context) , eNodeB will send RRC re- establishment reject to UE. Then UE initiates attach procedure at target eNodeB.

  4. UE sends measure report to source eNodeB. target has been prepared with resource and immediately UE lost the radio and latch on target eNodeB via Re-establishment. Since target eNodeB has been already prepared the context then target eNodeB will accept Re-establishment.

Ok thanks for the overall description,
But in case of Backward handover UE Context release has to be sent by New ENB to Old,Like that in Forward  handover whether we should send that ???

Whether Forward handover is always successful handover like backward handover ???

How target enodeb will validate the new incoming user during x2 or s1 handover?

How target enodeb will confirm if the incoming user is a genuine user or not?

Is there any IE exchanged during HO preparation phase? I am expecting that during X2 handover AS SECURITY INFO in UE context is very helpful? Is that or not?

LTE: Can someone please share wireshark logs for successful handover with MME and SGW relocation ?

My email id is "vimal_bhumca06@yahoo.co.in". I am looking for successful S1-handover (with MME and SGW relocation) logs.

Thanks in advance.

LTE handover: Why does "TAC" required as part of "Target Id" IE within the forward relocation request message ?

In case of S1-handover with the MME relocation, source MME sends an information "Target Identification" to target MME.
What the target MME does by receiving TAC, when an enodeb can be identified uniquely by using combination of (PLMN + Macro/Home ENodeB) ?

Can someone tell me what the purpose behind to send TAC as part of Target Id IE ?

LTE handover: How would be handled this particular scenario under Forward handover ?

I have a use case for forward handover.

What will happen, when UE moves to target eNodeB through forward handover and target eNodeB is connected to a new MME.
I mean to ask what will happen with old session which is already maintained at MME, SGW and PGW. Definitely there is a loss of data packet since UE has already moved to some other eNodeB (target eNodeB) due to RLF.

When UE shal attach to new MME, MME shall send create session request to SGW, and SGW forward it to PGW.
Now question is that how PGW handle this situation, when it receives a new create session request from a new MME for an already existing session(via old mme).
