METHOD OF PERFORMING AN INTER-TECHNOLOGY HANDOFF IN A LOOSELY COUPLED ARCHITECTURE

摘要

The present invention provides embodiments of methods for performing inter-technology handoffs in a loosely coupled network architecture. One embodiment of the method includes configuring a downlink data path from a target access network to a mobile device concurrently with transmitting a data path registration request from the target access network to an anchor point during handoff of the mobile device from a source access network to the target access network.
