Abstract  Abstract

The invention proposes a method to support a handover of a service of a user equipment between a source eNB and a destination eNB in a wireless communication network with carrier aggregation which includes the steps of: the destination eNB determining a primary component carrier jointly with the source eNB; transmitting a handover command to be transmitted to the user equipment to the source eNB the handover command including indication information of the primary component carrier and dedicated preamble assignment information; the source eNB receiving the handover command to be transmitted to the user equipment from the destination eNB and forwarding the handover command to the user equipment; and then the user equipment accessing the destination eNB in response to the handover command. Also apparatuses performing the foregoing method in the source eNB the destination eNB and the user equipment are proposed correspondingly. The technical solution of the invention improves the smoothness and efficiency of handing over a service of a user equipment between two eNBs in a carrier aggregation scenario and simplifies data transmission between the source eNB and the destination eNB in the handover procedure of the user equipment.
