Abstract

Embodiments include methods for a first network node (e.g., eNB) of a wireless network (e.g., EPS). Such methods include sending (), to a second network node of the wireless network, a request to retrieve context information associated with a user equipment (UE) that has been or is being handed over from the second network node to the first network node. Such methods include receiving () the context information associated with the UE from the second network node. Specifically, the context information includes an indication of whether the UE has an active IP Multimedia System (IMS) voice call that was subject to a first inter-system handover from a 5G System (5GS) to the wireless network. Other embodiments include complementary methods for the second network node, as well as network nodes configured to perform such methods.
