Patent ID: 8837427

Claim:
A method of handover from a first radio access technology, the method comprising: receiving a request for a second radio access technology on a second frequency band, wherein accessing the second radio access technology causes a change in the capability of an access terminal to receive the first radio access technology; preparing a first measurement request associated with providing the second radio access technology utilizing an indicator of a dual radio access capability of the access terminal; transmitting the first measurement request to the access terminal; receiving a first measurement report from the access terminal; selecting a preferred delivery for a third radio access technology utilizing the first measurement report provided by the access terminal; preparing a second measurement request associated with providing the third radio access technology utilizing the first measurement report; transmitting the second measurement request to the access terminal; receiving a second measurement report from the access terminal, wherein the second measurement report comprises at least one measurement; selecting, utilizing the first measurement report, the third radio access technology on a third frequency band to replace the first radio access technology; and initiating a concurrent handover from the first radio access technology to the second and the third radio access technology.
