摘要: A method and apparatus are described for integrating third generation partnership project (3GPP) radio access network an Institute of Electrical Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.11 technologies (RATs). This may be done at a medium control (MAC) layer or below the MAC layer. For example, wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) multiple technology (RAT) integration includes 3GPP RAT including resource (RRC) entity, IEEE management session entity (SME) mapping between RRC entity. Combined, hybrid split versions logical channel prioritization (LCP) described. The features LTE stratum-service (AS-SME) also
