INTER-SYSTEM HANDOFFS IN MULTI-ACCESS ENVIRONMENTS

摘要

Systems and methods according to these exemplary embodiments provide for methods and systems for handing off user equipment between different access systems, e.g., a high rate packet data (HRPD) system and a long term evolution (LTE) system. Resources to be used in the target system can be allocated prior to breaking the serving radio connection to minimize 'break before make' time associated with the handoff.
