Handover prediction using historical data

A method in an apparatus for adapting play out of data packets during a handover of a user equipment between a first radio network node and a second radio network node, which data packets relate to a real-time service application and which user equipment, first and second radio network nodes (304,306) are comprised in a communications system, the method comprises:

• generating at least one message to an adaptation control module, which at least one message is generated based on collected historical handover information and on current handover information, which collected historical handover information relates to at least one handover previously performed between the first radio network node and the second radio network node by the user equipment;
• and which current handover information relates to current radio control parameter settings for first radio network node and the second radio network node, and
• by means of the adaptation control module, adapting the adapting the play out of the data packets in dependence of the at least one message such that radio quality degradation in the real-time service application is controlled.
