Method and apparatus for inter-system handover

At least one processor for inter-system handovers in a wireless communication system, comprising:

• a first module for transmitting a neighbor list from a source node containing at least one parameter for connecting to a target node proximal to a source node;
• a second module for transmitting a criterion for a user equipment (UE) to determine when to pursue a handover to the target node;
• and
• a third module for handing over the UE to the target node.

A computer program product for inter-system handovers in a wireless communication system, comprising:

• a computer-readable medium, comprising:
• a first set of codes for causing a computer to transmit a neighbor list from a source node containing at least one parameter for connecting to a target node proximal to a source node;
• a second set of codes for causing the computer to transmit a criterion for a user equipment (UE) to determine when to pursue a handover to the target node;
• and
• a third set of codes for causing the computer to hand over the UE to the target node.

An apparatus for inter-system handovers in a wireless communication system, comprising:

• a computer-readable medium containing a data structure comprising a neighbor list from a source node containing at least one parameter for connecting to a target node proximal to a source node and containing a criterion for a user equipment (UE) to determine when to pursue a handover to the target node;
• a transmitter for transmitting the neighbor list and criterion;
• and
• a communication channel to the target node for facilitating handover of the UE to the target node.
