Abstract
Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for reducing handover interruption time using sidelink communication are provided. For example, the handed-over (remote) user equipment may exchange uplink and downlink data with the target cell via the additional or assisting link to another relay user equipment while the remote user equipment performs the random access procedure (random access channel procedure) and may establish its own direct radio link to the target cell.
