Abstract:
1. A method for recovering from an unsuccessful handover, the method comprising: a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) receiving a handover command from a source evolved Node-B (eNode-B) associated with a source cell, wherein the handover command indicates that the source eNode-B is directing the WTRU to attempt to perform a handover procedure to move the WTRU from the source cell to a target cell; the WTRU determining that the handover procedure for moving the WTRU from the source cell to the target cell was unsuccessful; and the WTRU initiating a radio link failure procedure in response to determining that the handover procedure for moving the WTRU from the source cell to the target cell was unsuccessful, wherein when attempting to access a selected cell after determining that the handover procedure was unsuccessful the WTRU sends an indication of a cell identity (ID) of the source cell from the unsuccessful handover procedure with a radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) assigned to the WTRU to an eNode-B associated with the selected cell.
