Claim:
1. A method for network cognizant uplink transmissions during inter radio access technology (IRAT) handovers, comprising: skipping IRAT measurements during one or more dedicated channel (DCH) measurement occasions (DMOs) or idle interval gaps of a transmission timing interval (TTI) at a user equipment (UE), wherein the IRAT measurements are performed for handovers from a first RAT to a second RAT; transmitting of data on an uplink from the UE to a network entity during an entire duration of the TTI at the UE including transmitting during the one or more DMOs or the idle interval gaps of the TTI at the UE; and determining, at the UE, whether the network entity is decoding the data transmitted on the uplink based on a response received at the UE from the network entity.
