Abstract

A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) and a method for use by the WTRU for transmitting a radio resource control (RRC) message to a first base station, the RRC message including WTRU capability information, receiving and processing configuration information from a second base station, the configuration information being received after the second base station has received a WTRU information transfer message from a network controller, the WTRU information transfer message including uplink physical channel support information, frequency division duplex (FDD) and time division duplex (TDD) parameters including TDD specific parameters, hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) information, supported modulation scheme information, and shared channel information, and sending transmissions to the second base station in accordance with the received configuration information.

Claims (26)

1. A method for use by a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) comprising:

transmitting a radio resource control (RRC) message to a first base station, the RRC message including WTRU capability information;

receiving and processing configuration information from a second base station, the configuration information being received after the second base station has received a WTRU information transfer message from a network controller, the WTRU information transfer message including uplink physical channel support information, frequency division duplex (FDD) and time division duplex (TDD) parameters including TDD specific parameters, hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) information, supported modulation scheme information, and shared channel information; and

sending transmissions to the second base station in accordance with the received configuration information.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the WTRU information transfer message includes TDD specific power information and TDD specific modulation information.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the WTRU information transfer message includes simultaneous reception support information.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the WTRU information transfer message includes periodicity of time intervals support information.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the WTRU information transfer message includes WTRU class information.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the WTRU information transfer message includes memory size limitation information.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the WTRU information transfer message includes data rate information.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the WTRU information transfer message is received by the network controller from the first base station.

9. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) for use with a wireless network including a first base station and a second base station, the WTRU comprising:

a receiver;

a transmitter; and

a processor;

wherein the receiver, the transmitter, and the processor are configured to cause the WTRU to:

transmit a radio resource control (RRC) message to the first base station, the RRC message including WTRU capability information;

receive and process configuration information from the second base station, the configuration information being received after the second base station has received a WTRU information transfer message from a network controller, the WTRU information transfer message including uplink physical channel support information, frequency division duplex (FDD) and time division duplex (TDD) parameters including TDD specific parameters, hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) information, supported modulation scheme information, and shared channel information; and

send transmissions to the second base station in accordance with the received configuration information.

10. The WTRU of claim 9 , wherein the WTRU information transfer message includes TDD specific power information and TDD specific modulation information.

11. The WTRU of claim 9 , wherein the WTRU information transfer message includes simultaneous reception support information.

12. The WTRU of claim 9 , wherein the WTRU information transfer message includes periodicity of time intervals support information.

13. The WTRU of claim 9 , wherein the WTRU information transfer message includes WTRU class information.

14. The WTRU of claim 9 , wherein the WTRU information transfer message includes memory size limitation information.

15. The WTRU of claim 9 , wherein the WTRU information transfer message includes data rate information.

16. The WTRU of claim 9 , wherein the WTRU information transfer message is received by the network controller from the first base station.
