Handover request messaging and handling

Abstract

A method may include receiving, by a first base station from a second base station, a handover request message comprising traffic pattern parameters of a traffic of a wireless device, the traffic pattern parameters comprising a first traffic periodicity, a first timing offset, and a first message size. The method may also include sending, to the second base station, a handover request acknowledge message indicating at least one periodic resource configuration parameter for the wireless device. The method may further include receiving, from the wireless device, a random access preamble associated with a handover of the wireless device. The method may additionally include transmitting, to the wireless device, a control command indicating activation of radio resources associated with the at least one periodic resource configuration parameter and indicating a resource block assignment for transmission of the traffic of the wireless device.
