Abstract
A method for a user equipment (UE) is provided. The method includes the UE maintaining a first Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection with a first base station (BS) of a first network while receiving transmissions from a BS of a second network during at least one time period specified in a switch gap configuration. The UE receives an RRC reconfiguration message from the first BS that includes a first command and a second command. The first command instructs the CE to begin a handover procedure from the first BS to a second BS of the first network. The UE may initiate executing of the handover procedure according to the first command. The UE may or may not continue to receive transmissions from the BS of the second network during the at least one time period based on the second command.
