Abstract:
1. A method for radio link failure recovery in a wireless communications network, including the steps of: selecting a network node as a handover target in the event of handover of a mobile terminal from a source network node; sending to the handover target network node context information for said mobile terminal and an indication to the handover target network node to reserve resources for said mobile terminal, the indication being a handover request message including an indicator which is set to indicate that resources should be reserved for the mobile terminal; designating a network node as a handover candidate in the event of failure of a radio link between the mobile terminal and the source network node; and sending to the designated handover candidate network node context information for said mobile terminal and an indication to the designated handover candidate network node not to reserve resources for said mobile terminal, the indication being a handover request message including an indicator which is set to indicate that resources should not be reserved for the mobile terminal.
