METHODS, APPARATUS AND SYSTEMS FOR PERFORMING MULTI-RADIO ACCESS TECHNOLOGY CARRIER AGGREGATION

摘要

A method of managing carrier aggregation for a multi-radio access technology (RAT) wireless transmitter/receiver unit (WTRU) is disclosed. The method may include: receiving, by the WRTU over a primary channel associated with a RAT of a first type, provisioning information for provisioning a supplementary channel associated with a RAT of a second type; establishing the supplementary channel associated with the RAT of the second type based on the received provisioning information; and wirelessly exchanging, by the WRTU, first data associated with a communication over the primary channel via the RAT of the first type, while wireless exchanging second data associated with the communication over the supplementary channel via the RAT of the second type.

1. A method of managing a multi-radio access technology (multi-RAT) wireless transmitter/receiver unit (WTRU) using first and second state machines, the first state machine operating a RAT of a first type and the second state machine operating a RAT of the second type, the method comprising:
configuring, by the WTRU, a first radio connection that uses the RAT of the first type using the first state machine; configuring, by the WTRU, a radio resource control (RRC) connection using the first state machine; configuring, by the WTRU, a second radio connection that uses the RAT of the second type using the second state machine; associating, by the WTRU, the RRC connection configured by the first state machine to the second state machine; sending, by the WTRU, a notification over the RRC connection on condition that the second state machine has changed state.
