Abstract

A method of managing carrier aggregation for a multi-radio access technology (RAT) wireless transmitter/receiver unit (WTRU) is disclosed. The method may include: receiving, by the WRTU over a primary channel associated with a RAT of a first type, provisioning information for provisioning a supplementary channel associated with a RAT of a second type; establishing the supplementary channel associated with the RAT of the second type based on the received provisioning information; and wirelessly exchanging, by the WRTU, first data associated with a communication over the primary channel via the RAT of the first type, while wireless exchanging second data associated with the communication over the supplementary channel via the RAT of the second type.

Claims (42)

1 . A method implemented in a multi-radio access technology (multi-RAT) wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU), the method comprising:

receiving, via a primary radio connection of a radio access technology (RAT) of a first type associated with a primary node, first configuration information to configure a secondary radio connection of a RAT of a second type associated with a secondary node,

wherein the first configuration information for the secondary radio connection of the RAT of the second type: (1) is received within a container in a radio resource control (RRC) connection reconfiguration message of a first RRC protocol of the RAT of the first type, wherein the container corresponds to information elements encoded according to a second RRC protocol of the RAT of the second type, and (2) includes an information element (IE) according to a second RRC protocol of the RAT of the second type,

wherein the secondary radio connection of the RAT of the second type is established based on the first configuration information for the secondary radio connection of the RAT of the second type; and

transmitting data, wherein a first portion of the data is transmitted to the primary node and a second portion of the data is transmitted to the secondary node.

2 . The method of claim 1 , comprising:

receiving, via the primary radio connection of the RAT of the first type, a message requesting the multi-RAT WTRU to perform a random access procedure for the RAT of the second type;

initiating, by the multi-RAT WTRU, the random access procedure; and

receiving, by the multi-RAT WTRU as part of the random access procedure, a random access response including a grant for resources of the RAT of the second type using the RAT of the first type.

3 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising: after the secondary radio connection of the RAT of the second type is established,

determining, by the multi-RAT WTRU, that a radio link failure (RLF) has occurred on the RAT of the second type; and

transmitting, by the multi-RAT WTRU, a message using the RAT of the first type based on the determined RLF.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first configuration information associated with the RAT of the second type includes reconfiguration information to reconfigure the secondary radio connection of the RAT of the second type.

5 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising: receiving, by the multi-RAT WTRU, first discontinuous reception (DRX) configuration information associated with the RAT of the first type and second, different DRX configuration information associated with the RAT of the second type.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein a first portion of control plane signaling associated with the RAT of the second type uses the RAT of the first type and a second portion of the control plane signaling associated with the RAT of the second type does not use the RAT of the first type.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the RAT of the first type is a long-term evolution (LTE) RAT and the RAT of the second type is different from the RAT of the first type.

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the RAT of the first type is a Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) RAT and the RAT of the second type is a different 3GPP RAT.

9 . The method of claim 1 , comprising:

receiving, from the secondary node (SN), second configuration information associated with the RAT of the second type using the RAT of the second type, wherein the secondary radio connection of the RAT of the second type is established based on the second configuration information associated with the RAT of the second type.

10 . The method of claim 9 , further comprising transmitting, after the receiving of the second configuration information, a confirmation message associated with the RAT of the second type using the RAT of the second type.

11 . A multi-radio access technology (multi-RAT) wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU), comprising:

a processor; and

a transceiver;

the transceiver configured to receive, via a primary radio connection of a radio access technology (RAT) of a first type associated with a primary node, first configuration information to configure a secondary radio connection of a RAT of a second type associated with a secondary node,

wherein the first configuration information for the secondary radio connection of the RAT of the second type: (1) is received within a container in a radio resource control (RRC) connection reconfiguration message of a first radio resource control (RRC) protocol of the RAT of the first type, wherein the container corresponds to information elements encoded according to a second RRC protocol of the RAT of the second type, and (2) includes an information element (IE) according to a second RRC protocol of the RAT of the second type,

wherein the secondary radio connection of the RAT of the second type is established based on the first configuration information for the secondary radio connection of the RAT of the second type; and

the transceiver configured to transmit data, wherein a first portion of the data is transmitted to the primary node and a second portion of the data is transmitted to the secondary node.

12 . The multi-RAT WTRU of claim 11 , wherein:

the transceiver is configured to receive, via the primary radio connection of the RAT of the first type, a message requesting the multi-RAT WTRU to perform a random access procedure for the RAT of the second type;

the processor is configured to initiate the random access procedure; and

the transceiver is configured to receive, as part of the random access procedure, a random access response including a grant for resources of the RAT of the second type using the RAT of the first type.

13 . The multi-RAT WTRU of claim 11 , wherein:

the processor is configured to determine that a radio link failure (RLF) has occurred on the RAT of the second type; and

the transceiver is configured to transmit a message using the RAT of the first type based on the determined RLF.

14 . The multi-RAT WTRU of claim 11 , wherein the first configuration information associated with the RAT of the second type includes reconfiguration information to reconfigure the secondary radio connection.

15 . The multi-RAT WTRU of claim 11 , wherein the transceiver is configured to receive first discontinuous reception (DRX) configuration information associated with the RAT of the first type and second, different DRX configuration information associated with the RAT of the second type.

16 . The multi-RAT WTRU of claim 11 , wherein a first portion of control plane signaling associated with the RAT of the second type uses the RAT of the first type and a second portion of the control plane signaling associated with the RAT of the second type does not use the RAT of the first type.

17 . The multi-RAT WTRU of claim 11 , wherein the RAT of the first type is a long-term evolution (LTE) RAT and the RAT of the second type is different from the RAT of the first type.

18 . The multi-RAT WTRU of claim 11 , wherein the RAT of the first type is a Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) RAT and the RAT of the second type is a different 3GPP RAT.

19 . The multi-RAT WTRU of claim 11 , wherein:

the transceiver configured to receive, from the secondary node, second configuration information associated with the RAT of the second type using the RAT of the second type, wherein the secondary radio connection of the RAT of the second type is established based on the second configuration information associated with the RAT of the second type.

20 . The multi-RAT WTRU of claim 19 , wherein the transceiver is configured to transmit, after reception of the second configuration information, a confirmation message associated with the RAT of the second type using the RAT of the second type.
