Abstract
A method of communicating signals in a mobile communication system having a first base station, a second base station, and a base station controlling node controlling the first base station and the second base station is presented. The method includes during a handover, receiving, at the first base station, a control message from the second base station including a sequence number indicating at least one data unit to be transmitted to a mobile station or to be received from a mobile station, wherein the first base station receives the control message from the second base station without being controlled by the base station controlling node.

A method of communicating signals in a mobile communication system including a mobile station, a first base station, a second base station, and a base station controlling node, the method comprising:
- receiving signaling at the first base station from the base station controlling node, the signaling being received via a first interface between the first base station and the base station controlling node;
- receiving, at the first base station from the second base station during a handover, a control message including at least one sequence number indicating at least one data unit to be transmitted to the mobile station, the first base station and the second base station each including a radio link control (RLC) layer;
- and
- transmitting, at the first base station to the mobile station, the at least one data unit through the RLC layer of the first base station,
- wherein the first base station receives the control message from the second base station via a direct interface between the first base station and the second base station, wherein the direct interface including X2 interface,
- wherein the direct interface is different than the first interface between the first base station and the base station controlling node, and
- wherein the at least one sequence number is managed by a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) layer.
A method of communicating signals in a mobile communication system including a mobile station, a first base station, a second base station, and a base station controlling node, the method comprising:
- sending signaling from the second base station to the base station controlling node, the signaling being received via a first interface between the second base station and the base station controlling node;
- sending, from the second base station to the first base station during a handover, a control message including at least one sequence number indicating at least one data unit to be transmitted to the mobile station, the first base station and the second base station each including a radio link control (RLC) layer,
- wherein the second base station sends the control message to the first base station via a direct interface between the first base station and the second base station, wherein the direct interface including X2 interface,
- wherein the at least one sequence number is managed by a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP) layer, and
- wherein at least one data unit is transmitted from the first base station to the mobile station through the RLC layer of the first base station,
- wherein the direct interface is different than the first interface between the second base station and the base station controlling node.
