A wireless communication method for providing a service to a user through a wireless communication system, the service involving recurrent delivery of data to a terminal of the user via one or more of a plurality of neighbour base stations (12, 12-1, 12-2,.. 12-n), the method comprising, at a first base station: obtaining, from a core network of the wireless communication system, data for delivery to the terminal and, whilst the terminal is in wireless communication with the first base station, transmitting the data to the terminal; receiving a notification that a second base station among said one or more base stations has established, or is predicted to establish, wireless communication with the terminal; transferring accumulated data to the second base station in response to the notification; and informing the core network of a handover to the second base station; the method further comprising, at the second base station: transmitting the transferred accumulated data to the terminal, and then starting to obtain, from the core network of the wireless communication system, data for delivery to the terminal; characterised in that: the wireless communication system has discontinuous coverage with gaps between coverage areas of the neighbour base stations (12, 12-1, 12-2,.. 12-n), and in that the method further comprises, at the first base station: recognising a radio link failure in wireless communication with the terminal and in response, informing one or more neighbour base stations (12-1, 12-2,.. 12-n) and accumulating data for delivery to the terminal without informing the core network of the radio link failure. obtaining, from a core network of the wireless communication system, data for delivery to the terminal and, whilst the terminal is in wireless communication with the first base station, transmitting the data to the terminal; receiving a notification that a second base station among said one or more base stations has established, or is predicted to establish, wireless communication with the terminal; transferring accumulated data to the second base station in response to the notification; and informing the core network of a handover to the second base station; transmitting the transferred accumulated data to the terminal, and then starting to obtain, from the core network of the wireless communication system, data for delivery to the terminal; characterised in that: the wireless communication system has discontinuous coverage with gaps between coverage areas of the neighbour base stations (12, 12-1, 12-2,.. 12-n), and in that the method further comprises, at the first base station: recognising a radio link failure in wireless communication with the terminal and in response, informing one or more neighbour base stations (12-1, 12-2,.. 12-n) and accumulating data for delivery to the terminal without informing the core network of the radio link failure. the wireless communication system has discontinuous coverage with gaps between coverage areas of the neighbour base stations (12, 12-1, 12-2,.. 12-n), and in that the method further comprises, at the first base station: recognising a radio link failure in wireless communication with the terminal and in response, informing one or more neighbour base stations (12-1, 12-2,.. 12-n) and accumulating data for delivery to the terminal without informing the core network of the radio link failure. recognising a radio link failure in wireless communication with the terminal and in response, informing one or more neighbour base stations (12-1, 12-2,.. 12-n) and accumulating data for delivery to the terminal without informing the core network of the radio link failure.
