摘要

A wireless transmit receive unit (WTRU) configured to indicate REDHOT and HUGE multi-slot capability to a network. The REDHOT multi-slot capability is included in a MS Classmark 3 information element and a MS Radio Access Capability information element. In another embodiment, DLDC operation in an evolved GERAN system includes both single carrier and dual carrier modes. Monitoring in single carrier mode reduces battery consumption.
