    The document discusses different types of handovers in LTE including S1, X2 and inter-RAT handovers. It also explains the handover and reselection procedures between LTE and 2G/3G networks.

    The document discusses S1 handover, X2 handover and intra-LTE handover.

    The document outlines the 21 steps involved in an LTE to 3G handover including context transfer and bearer establishment between the source LTE and target 3G networks.
