There are provided measures for robust mobile terminal handover. Such measures exemplarily comprise, at a distributed unit of an access network node, receiving, from a centralized unit of said access network node, a handover message including an indication indicative of that a handover of a terminal is to be reserved, the handover message including at least one handover related radio resource control reconfiguration corresponding to at least one handover target cell and at least one resume condition corresponding to said at least one handover target cell, inhibiting, based on said indication, forwarding of said at least one handover related radio resource control reconfiguration towards said terminal, storing each of said at least one handover related radio resource control reconfiguration, evaluating fulfillment of each of said at least one resume condition, and if, as a result of said evaluating, a first resume condition of said at least one resume condition corresponding to a first handover target cell of said at least one handover target cell is fulfilled, deciding to transmit, despite said indication indicative of that said handover of said terminal is to be reserved, a first handover related radio resource control reconfiguration of said at least one handover related radio resource control reconfiguration towards said terminal, wherein said first handover related radio resource control reconfiguration corresponds to said first handover target cell.
