    Abstract: Embodiments of Evolved Node-B (eNBs), user equipment (UE) and methods for licensed shared access (LSA) handover are generally described herein. An eNB includes hardware processing circuitry to receive a command to release spectrum resources in a LSA band over which the eNB serves an LSA cell; to determine whether user equipment (UEs) served by the eNB are permitted to skip a random access process (RAP) to be handed over to a target cell operating on a band separate from the LSA band; and to transmit a message to a UE served by the eNB instructing the UE that the UE is to be handed over to the target cell, the message including one or more indicators based on the determination. Other apparatuses, systems and methods are also disclosed.
