Abstract
A method of an electronic device in a wireless communication system is provided. The method includes receiving, by the electronic device, a service through a first content server, performing, by the electronic device, handover from a serving Base Station (BS) to a target BS, and continuously receiving the service through a second content server closest to the electronic device.
Claims14
A method for operating an electronic device in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
- receiving, from a first content server, a first part of content up to a resuming point of the content via a source base station (BS) by using an internet protocol (IP) address of the first content server;
- performing a handover from the source BS to a target BS;
- and
- receiving, from a second content server, a second part of the content from the resuming point of the content via the target BS based on information for a session between the electronic device and the first content server, the information indicating the resuming point of the content,
- wherein the second part of the content is transmitted via the target BS by using the IP address of the first content server, and
- wherein the information is transmitted from the first content server to the second content server.
