A method for handing over a user equipment (UE) from a source node to a target node, comprising: transmitting from a source node to another node a first handover message, wherein the first handover message requests handover of a connection associated with a UE; receiving at the source node a second handover message, wherein the second handover message acknowledges receipt of the first handover message; in response to receiving the second handover message, transmitting from the source node a reconfiguration message to the UE; after transmitting the reconfiguration message from the source node to the UE, continuing to schedule at the source node transmissions for the connection of the UE until the source node receives a message of a first message type for the connection; and upon receiving at the source node the message of the first message type for the connection, ceasing to schedule at the source node transmissions for the connection.
