My friend: Hi Ibrahim, I have a question.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Me: Go ahead.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
My friend: What is the meant by DAPS handover in 5G<\/a>?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Me: DAPS (Dual Active Protocol Stack) handover is defined by 3GPP<\/a> in Rel-16 to decrease mobility<\/a> interruption time which is the time during which the user isn\u2019t able to transmit or receive data while performing handover. In 4G<\/a> networks, the mobility interruption time is typically around 30 \u2013 60 ms depending on handover scenario and effective radio<\/a> conditions.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n My friend: But this time is already low in 4G, why is 3GPP targeting to decrease it more in 5G?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Me: Simply, because 5G use cases are different from 4G. In 5G, we\u2019ve URLLC<\/a> which requires much less mobility interruption time than 4G.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n My friend: But, how did they reduce it?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Me: By using continued transmission\/reception in the source cell after receiving the handover request, also using simultaneous reception of user data from source and target cells and lastly by UL<\/a> transmission of user data switched to target cell at completion of random access procedure, please check the below snapshot.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n My friend: Thanks a lot.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Me: You are welcome.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
