RRC messages and procedures
A method and apparatus for radio resource control (RRC) messaging. A method in a wireless communication system includes receiving, at a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) an RRC change command including a plurality of commands from a Node B and receiving, at the Node B, 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.
1. A method for use in a wireless communication system, the method comprising:
receiving, at a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) a radio resource control (RRC) change message including a plurality of information element (IE) values from a Node B;
receiving, at the Node B, an RRC change response from the WTRU; and
wherein the RRC change message includes an IE indicative of performing a measurement gap configuration procedure and an IE indicative of performing a measurement gap activation procedure.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the RRC change message includes a plurality of measurement gap parameters.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the measurement gap parameters are combined into a common set.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the RRC change response includes an information element (IE), wherein the IE indicates whether the procedure was successfully completed in its entirety, the procedure was partially completed, or the procedure failed to complete.
5. A wireless communication system comprising:
a receiver in a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) configured to receive a radio resource control (RRC) change message including a plurality of information element (IE) values from a Node B;
a receiver in the Node B configured to receive an RRC change response from the WTRU; and
wherein the RRC change message includes an IE indicative of performing a measurement gap configuration procedure and an IE indicative of a command for performing a measurement gap activation procedure.
6. The wireless communication system of claim 5 , wherein the RRC change message includes a plurality of measurement gap parameters.
7. The wireless communication system of claim 6 , wherein the measurement gap parameters are combined into a common set.
8. The wireless communication system of claim 5 , wherein the RRC change response includes an information element (IE) wherein the IE indicates whether the procedure was successfully completed in its entirety, the procedure was partially completed, or the procedure failed to complete.
9. A method for use in a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU), the method comprising:
receiving a radio resource control (RRC) change message from a Node B, wherein the RRC change message includes an information element (IE) indicating both a measurement gap configuration procedure and a gap activation procedure;
performing the measurement gap configuration procedure based on the received RRC change message;
performing the measurement gap activation procedure based on the received RRC change message; and
transmitting an RRC change complete response to the Node B.
10. The method of claim 9 wherein the RRC change message includes a plurality of measurement gap parameters.
11. The method of claim 10 wherein the measurement gap parameters are combined into a common set.
12. The method of claim 9 wherein the RRC change complete response indicates for each measurement gap configuration procedure, whether the measurement gap configuration procedure was successfully completed in its entirety, the measurement gap configuration procedure was partially completed, or the measurement gap configuration procedure failed to complete.
13. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU), the WTRU comprising:
a receiver configured to receive a radio resource control (RRC) change message from a Node B, wherein the RRC change message includes an information element (IE) indicating both a measurement gap configuration procedure and a gap activation procedure;
the WTRU configured to perform the measurement gap configuration procedure based on the received RRC change message;
the WTRU configured to perform the measurement gap activation procedure based on the received RRC change message; and
a transmitter configured to transmit an RRC change complete response to the Node B.
14. The WTRU of claim 13 wherein the RRC change message includes a plurality of measurement gap parameters.
15. The WTRU of claim 14 wherein the measurement gap parameters are combined into a common set.
16. The WTRU of claim 13 wherein the RRC change complete response indicates for each measurement gap configuration procedure, whether the measurement gap configuration procedure was successfully completed in its entirety, the measurement gap configuration procedure was partially completed, or the measurement gap configuration procedure failed to complete.
