How MME Helps at the time of Handover

Question

Accepted Answer

MME helps in handover by ensuring seamless transfer of user context and session information.

MME (Mobility Management Entity) ensures that the user's context and session information is transferred to the target eNodeB (Evolved Node B) during handover.
This helps in maintaining the continuity of the user's ongoing session without any interruption.
MME also coordinates with the source eNodeB to release the resources allocated to the user before the handover.
This helps in efficient utilization of network resources.
For example, if a user is streaming a video and moves from one cell to another, MME ensures that the video continues to play without any buffering or interruption.
MME also plays a crucial role in ensuring security during handover by authenticating the user and encrypting the data being transferred.
This helps in preventing any unauthorized access or data theft during handover.
