RECONFIGURATION AND HANDOVER PROCEDURES FOR FUZZY CELLS

Abstract

A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) for providing dual connectivity. The WTRU may receive a reconfiguration message from a source eNode-B that may identify a resource. The WTRU may send a reconfiguration complete message to the source eNode-B that may indicate that the WTRU may be configured to use the resource. The WTRU may maintain a first connection the source eNode-B using a component carrier while establishing a second connection to the target eNode-B using the resource.

Claim

An apparatus for providing dual connectivity for a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU), the apparatus comprising:
a processor, the processor being configured to:
send an allocation request to a target eNode-B to request a resource for the WTRU;
receive an acknowledgement message from the target eNode-B indicating that the resource has been allocated for the WTRU; and
send a reconfiguration message to the WTRU to instruct the WTRU to maintain a first connection to the source eNode-B using a component carrier while establishing a second connection to the target eNode-B using the resource.
2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the component carrier is a first component carrier and the resource is a second component carrier.
3. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to receive a reconfiguration complete message from the WTRU indicating that the WTRU is configured to use the resource.
4. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to notify the target eNode-B that the WTRU is configured to use the resource.
5. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to identify the resource.
6. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to receive a measurement report from the WTRU.
7. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to receive a recommendation message from the target eNode-B that identifies the resource.
8. An apparatus for providing dual connectivity for a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU), the apparatus comprising:
a processor, the processor being configured to:
receive an allocation request from a source eNode-B that requests a resource for the WTRU;
send an acknowledgement message to the source eNode-B indicating that the resource has been allocated for the WTRU; and
establishing a connection to the WTRU using the resource such that the WTRU can also maintain a connection to the source eNode-B using a component carrier.
9. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein the acknowledgement message further indicates that the resource can be used to split data between the source eNode-B and the target eNode-B.
10. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein the component carrier is a first component carrier and the resource is a second component carrier.
11. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein the processor is further configured to receive a reconfiguration complete message from the source eNode-B indicating that the WTRU is configured to use the resource.
12. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the allocation request identifies the resource.
13. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to send a recommendation message to the source eNode-B that identifies the resource.
14. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) for providing dual connectivity, the WTRU comprising:
a processor, the processor being configured to:
receive a reconfiguration message from a source eNode-B that identifies a resource;
sending a reconfiguration complete message to the source eNode-B that indicates that the WTRU is configured to use the resource; and
maintaining a first connection to the source eNode-B using a component carrier while establishing a second connection to the target eNode-B using the resource.
15. The WTRU of claim 14, wherein the component carrier is a first component carrier and the resource is a second component carrier.
17. The WTRU of claim 14, wherein the processor is further configured to receive data via the first component carrier and the second component carrier.
18. The WTRU of claim 14, wherein the processor is further configured to establish the second connection to the target eNode-B using the resource by establishing the second connection via a random access procedure.
19. The WTRU of claim 14, wherein the processor is further configured to send a measurement report to the source eNode-B.
20. The WTRU of claim 14, wherein the processor is further configured to receive the reconfiguration message via medium access control (MAC) or a radio resource control (RRC) signaling.
