METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PERFORMING A HANDOVER PROCEDURE BETWEEN A 3GPP LTE NETWORK AND AN ALTERNATIVE WIRELESS NETWORK

摘要

; 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Long Term Evolution (LTE) network and , at least one of the alternative wireless network and , in a wireless communication system including a wireless transmit receive unit (WTRU), and 3GPP LTE network transmits a list of available alternate network availability indication or use of an alternate network is located in the area the WTRU. The WTRU receives the information , and to initiate a handover to replace a wireless network based on the information . The WTRU requests a list of alternate wireless network from the 3GPP LTE network, or may send the capability information to 3GPP LTE network . Alternative wireless network may be a 3GPP network , a wireless local area network interaction (I-WLAN), or a fixed broadband network . ;
