Abstract:
1. A method for use in a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU), the method comprising: an inter-system handover support entity receiving a first measurement configuration message including a list of link threshold parameters for indicating thresholds for a plurality of links associated with a plurality of different radio access technologies, a time interval field for periodic measurement reporting, and a reporting field, wherein a value of the reporting field indicates one of: that a single measurement report should be sent once on a condition that a threshold is crossed or a plurality of periodic measurement reports should be transmitted periodically, wherein each of the periodic measurement reports is separated by the time interval; the inter-system handover support entity sending a second measurement configuration message to at least one link layer device to configure the link layer device for either single measurement reporting or periodic measurement reporting; the inter-system handover support entity receiving a first measurement report from the link layer device; and the inter-system handover support entity sending a second measurement report based on the first measurement report received from the link layer device.
