Seamless context switching for radio link protocol

A method for wireless communication, comprising:

• resetting a connection for a terminal in response to handover from a source base station to a target base station;
• storing data reported as having been served to the terminal by the source base station;
• sending the stored data to the target base station after the handover;
• and
• sending new data for the terminal to the target base station after sending the stored data.

An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

• means for resetting a connection for a terminal in response to handover from a source base station to a target base station;
• means for storing data reported as having been served to the terminal by the source base station;
• means for sending the stored data to the target base station after the handover;
• and
• means for sending new data for the terminal to the target base station after sending the stored data.

A computer program product, comprising:

• a computer-readable medium comprising:
• code for causing at least one computer to reset a connection for a terminal in response to handover from a source base station to a target base station;
• code for causing the at least one computer to store data reported as having been served to the terminal by the source base station;
• code for causing the at least one computer to store send the stored data to the target base station after the handover;
• and
• code for causing the at least one computer to send new data for the terminal to the target base station after sending the stored data.

A method for wireless communication, comprising:

• resetting a connection for a terminal in response to handover from a source base station to a target base station;
• receiving data from the source base station prior to the handover;
• receiving duplicate data from the target base station after the handover, the duplicate data being received previously from the source base station prior to the handover;
• and
• receiving new data from the target base station after receiving the duplicate data.
