Abstract
Various communication systems may benefit from improved handover procedures. For example, certain handover procedures involving edge clouds in a 5G or LTE network may benefit from a more seamless handover during communication. A method may include receiving at a first application server located in a first cloud a handover notification that a user equipment is moving to a radio network being served by a second application server located in a second cloud, where the application server is running an application session for the user equipment. The method may also include transferring the application session to the second application server.

-7. (canceled)
A method comprising:
- receiving a handover event notification request from a first application server in a first cloud, including an identifier for a user equipment, wherein the first application server is running an application session for the user equipment;
- and
- sending the first application server a handover notification that the user equipment is moving to a radio network being served by a second application server in a second cloud.
An apparatus comprising:
- at least one memory comprising computer program code;
- at least one processor;
- wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code are configured, with the at least one processor, to cause the apparatus at least to:
- receive at a first application server located in a first cloud a handover notification that a user equipment is moving to a radio network being served by a second application server located in a second cloud, wherein the application server is running an application session for the user equipment;
- and
- transfer the application session to the second application server.
