Inter-radio access technology (irat) handover

A method of wireless communication, comprising:

• determining whether timing of a non-serving radio access technology (RAT) is known;
• clearing enough consecutive time slots to verify an identity of a base station in the non-serving RAT when it is time to report on the non-serving RAT base station and the timing is known;
• and
• verifying the identity of the base station during the cleared time slots.

An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

• means for determining whether timing of a non-serving radio access technology (RAT) is known;
• means for clearing enough consecutive time slots to measure a timing of the non-serving RAT and to verify an identity of a base station in the non-serving RAT when it is time to report on the non-serving RAT base station and the timing is unknown;
• and
• means for acquiring timing and verifying the identity of the base station during the cleared time slots.

A computer program product for wireless communication in a wireless network, comprising:

• a non-transitory computer-readable medium having non-transitory program code recorded thereon, the program code comprising:
• program code to determine whether timing of a non-serving radio access technology (RAT) is known;
• program code to clear enough consecutive time slots to measure a timing of the non-serving RAT and to verify an identity of a base station in the non-serving RAT when it is time to report on the non-serving RAT base station and the timing is unknown;
• and
• program code to acquire timing and verifying the identity of the base station during the cleared time slots.

An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the memory, the at least one processor being configured:
• to determine whether timing of a non-serving radio access technology (RAT) is known;
• to clear enough consecutive time slots to measure a timing of the non-serving RAT and to verify an identity of a base station in the non-serving RAT when it is time to report on the non-serving RAT base station and the timing is unknown;
• and
• to acquire timing and verifying the identity of the base station during the cleared time slots.
