A single general packet radio service (GPRS) tunneling protocol (GTP) tunnel is established between an evolved Node B (ENB) and an access gateway (AGW) in a long term evolution (LTE) based wireless communication system. When ENB relocation is required, a new mobility management entity (MME)/user plane entity (UPE) sends a relocation request message to a target ENB indicating a tunnel endpoint identity (TEID) of the AGW, the identification number of a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) and the packet data protocol (PDP) address of the WTRU. The new MME/UPE sends an update PDP context request message to the AGW indicating the target ENB TEID. The AGW updates a binding of the target ENB TEID with the WTRU PDP address and the identification number. A new tunnel is established between the target ENB and the AGW, and an old tunnel between the source ENB and the AGW is released. Both inter-location area (LA) and intra-LA handover scenarios are addressed.
