Methods and systems for communicating between base stations of two different wireless communication networks

A method for coordinating a handover of a first user equipment (UE) device between respective base stations of two different wireless communication networks, comprising:

• exchanging information between a first base station of a first wireless communication network and a second base station of a second wireless communication network to establish a communication interface between the first base station and the second base station, the information including a respective user equipment device format for each of the first wireless communication network and the second wireless communication network;
• receiving, at the second base station, a handover request message from the first base station;
• transmitting a handover confirmation message from the second base station to the first base station;
• transmitting a path switch request from the second base station to a central control device of the second wireless communication network, the path switch request requesting that the central control device transmit data for the first UE device to the second base station;
• and
• at the second base station, relaying data associated with the first UE device between the first base station and the first UE device, during the handover.
