    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and systems for providing multicast handover are disclosed. In one example aspect, the method includes receiving, by a first radio access node, a multicast flow comprising data packets of a multicast service, determining, by the first radio access node, whether to initiate a handover procedure for a user device from the first radio access node to a second radio access node, replacing, upon determination to initiate the handover procedure, by the first radio access node, a first portion of the data packets with a flow identifier of a unicast flow, and forwarding, by the first radio access node, the data packets of the multicast service including the flow identifier of the unicast flow to the second radio access node.

    Abstract: A wireless communication method for use in a first wireless network node is disclosed. The wireless communication method comprises receiving, from a first session management function, a temporary mobile group identity associated with a multicast/broadcast service and a wireless terminal, receiving, from a second session management function, a request for activating a multicast/broadcast service session corresponding to the temporary mobile group identity, and transmitting, to the first session management function, a message comprising information indicating a status of the multicast/broadcast service session in the first wireless network node.
