Abstract
The embodiments herein relate to a method performed by an AMF () for handling handover. The AMF () receives one of: a handover required message and a first request message. The handover required message is received from an S-RAN () and the first request message is received from another AMF () in response to the handover required message. The AMF () sends to a SMF (), a set of one or more first request messages and activates a timer. The AMF () determines whether at least one of the following is true: a certain amount of time has elapsed since the timer was activated and the AMF () has received a first PDU response message for each one of the first PDU request messages. The AMF () transmits a handover request message to a T-RAN () as a result of determining that at least one of the conditions is true.
