    Abstract: A method for managing handover procedure in a radio access network (RAN) includes initiating, by a source base station, a handover procedure for a first user equipment with a target base station, wherein the first user equipment is connected to the source base station; identifying, by the source base station, a second user equipment that functions as a relay device, for relaying data related to the first user equipment from the source base station to the first user equipment during the handover procedure; establishing, by the source base station, a first connection between the identified second user equipment and the first user equipment; transmitting, by the source base station, buffered data corresponding to the first user equipment, to the target base station; transmitting, by the source base station, at least one block of data from the buffered data to the first user equipment, via the second user equipment, during the handover procedure for the first user equipment from the source base station to the target base station; and disconnecting, by the source base station, the established first connection between the second user equipment and the first user equipment, upon receiving a sequence number (SN) status request message from the target base station.

    Abstract: An electronic apparatus is provided. The electronic apparatus includes a communicator configured to perform communication with an external apparatus, a user interface configured to receive a user command, and a processor configured to, when an upload command to upload at least one content to the external apparatus is input, compute a time required to upload the at least one content to the external apparatus based on at least one parameter, determine whether an upload condition for uploading the at least one content satisfies a predetermined condition based on the computed time, control a time point for uploading the at least one content based on a result of the determination.
