Abstract

A method and apparatus for radio resource control (RRC) messaging. A method in a Node B includes transmitting a RRC change command including a plurality of commands to a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU), and receiving an RRC change response from the WTRU, wherein the RRC change command includes a command for performing a measurement gap configuration procedure and a command for performing a measurement gap activation procedure.

Claims (25)

1. A method for transmitting a radio resource control (RRC) change command performed by a Node B, the method comprising:

transmitting an RRC change command including a plurality of commands to a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU); and

receiving an RRC change response from the WTRU;

wherein the RRC change command includes a command for performing a measurement gap configuration procedure and a command for performing a measurement gap activation procedure.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the RRC change command is a measurement control message.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the RRC change command includes a plurality of measurement gap parameters.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the measurement gap parameters are combined into a common set.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the RRC change response includes an information element (IE) for each command, each IE indicates whether the procedure was successfully completed in its entirety, the procedure was partially completed, or the procedure failed to complete.

6. A Node B comprising:

a transmitter configured to transmit a radio resource control (RRC) change command including a plurality of commands to a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU); and

a receiver configured to receive RRC change response from the WTRU;

wherein the RRC change command includes a command for performing a measurement gap configuration procedure and a command for performing a measurement gap activation procedure.

7. The Node B of claim 6 , wherein the RRC change command is a measurement control message.

8. The Node B of claim 6 , wherein the RRC change command includes a plurality of measurement gap parameters.

9. The Node B of claim 8 , wherein the measurement gap parameters are combined into a common set.

10. The Node B of claim 6 , wherein the RRC change response includes an information element (IE) for each command, each IE indicates whether the procedure was successfully completed in its entirety, the procedure was partially completed, or the procedure failed to complete.

11. An integrated circuit (IC) comprising:

circuitry configured to receive an RRC change command including a plurality of commands;

circuitry configured to perform a measurement gap configuration procedure based on a particular one of the commands; and

circuitry configured to perform a measurement gap activation procedure based on another one of the commands.

12. The IC of claim 11 , wherein the RRC change command is a measurement control message.

13. The IC of claim 11 , wherein the RRC change command includes a plurality of measurement gap parameters.

14. The IC of claim 13 , wherein the measurement gap parameters are combined into a common set.

15. The IC of claim 11 , further comprising:

circuitry configured to transmit an information element, IE, for each procedure, each IE indicating whether the procedure was successfully completed in its entirety, the procedure was partially completed, or the procedure failed to complete.
