Abstract

Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for a method of mobility between distributed units with a local control plane are provided. For example, a method can include detecting, at a target distributed unit, a handover based on an indication from a source distributed unit after a handover command has been sent to a user equipment to hand over from the source distributed unit to the target distributed unit. The method can also include sending, from the target distributed unit to a central unit user plane, a data transmission resume notification, to trigger to the central unit user plane to resume downlink data transmission toward the target distributed unit. The downlink data transmission was previously suspended by instructions from a source distributed unit to the central unit user plane when the handover was initiated from the source distributed unit to the target distributed unit.
