`establishing radio connection vn'th
`the target base station afier radio
`connection with the source base
`station has ceased”
`
`To the extent this term requires
`construction, “handover” and
`“handover request” should both be
`construed in order to specify the
`meaning of “handover” when used as
`a noun and as an adjective.
`
`“handover” means “transfer of a
`te1minal’s connection with a source
`
`base station to a target base station”
`
`“handover request” means “a request
`to transfer a tenninal’s connection

`“target base station”
`
`“the base station to which the source

`
