User equipment (UE) handover (HO) techniques for reducing or eliminating interruption time during an HO process are described. In one embodiment, for example, an apparatus may include at least one memory and logic for an evolved node B (eNB), at least a portion of the logic comprised in hardware coupled to the at least one memory. The logic may be operative to forward downlink (DL) data received from a serving gateway (SGW) to user equipment (UE), transmit a handover command to the UE to trigger execution of a handover (HO) process to handover the UE to a target eNB, continue forwarding at least a portion of the DL data to the UE following transmission of the handover command, and terminate transmission of the DL data to the UE responsive to detecting a stop DL data event. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
