METHOD AND SYSTEM WHEREIN HANDOVER INFORMATION IS BROADCAST IN WIRELESS LOCAL AREA NETWORKS

A method and system wherein handover information is broadcast in a wireless local area network (1-6). Handover information is broadcast in a beacon frame thereby allowing WTRUs operating in a wireless area network to handover to available alternative systems as desired (11). WTRUs may read the beaco...

Zusammenfassung:A method and system wherein handover information is broadcast in a wireless local area network (1-6). Handover information is broadcast in a beacon frame thereby allowing WTRUs operating in a wireless area network to handover to available alternative systems as desired (11). WTRUs may read the beacon frame and obtain appropriate information for handing over to alternative systems having coverage areas that overlap that of the wireless local area network (2-6). The alternative systems may be any type of wireless system and the wireless local area network may be any type of wireless area network.
