Patent ID: 8233450

Claim:
A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) comprising: a first physical (PHY) layer component configured to communicate with a first network of a first network type, wherein the first network type is an IEEE 802 wireless network type; a second PHY layer component configured to communicate with a second network of a second network type, wherein the second network type is not the first network type; a first medium access control (MAC) layer component configured to communicate with the first PHY layer component; a second MAC layer component configured to communicate with the second PHY layer component; and an interworking component configured to communicate with the first PHY layer component, the second PHY layer component, the first MAC layer component, the second MAC layer component, and a higher layer component, and wherein the interworking component is configured to provide a first service for managing and controlling link behavior, wherein providing the first service includes configuring a trigger at the first MAC layer component, the first PHY layer component, the second MAC layer component, or the second PHY layer component, a second service for processing link events received from the first PHY layer component, the second MAC layer component, the second PHY layer component, or the higher layer component, and a third service for processing network information received from the first PHY layer component, the second MAC layer component, the second PHY layer component, or the higher layer component.
