1. A method for determining thresholds for evaluating inter-system handovers in a wireless communication system, comprising the steps of:
- determining a quality level of a first digital duplexing type;
determining a quality level of a second digital duplexing type; and
comparing the quality levels to determine whether to handover from the first digital duplexing type to the second duplexing type.

7. A method for determining thresholds for evaluating inter-system handovers between a first duplexing type and a second duplexing type in a wireless communications system, the method comprising the steps of:
-
determining a first minimum quality level for the first duplexing type;
determining a second minimum quality level for the second duplexing type;
comparing the first minimum quality level with a first threshold and comparing the second minimum quality level with a second threshold; and
initiating a handover from the first duplexing type to the second duplexing type if the first minimum quality level is below the first threshold and the second minimum quality level is above the second threshold. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A system for determining thresholds for evaluating inter-system handovers between a first duplexing type and a second duplexing type in a wireless communications system, the system comprising:
-
a plurality of multimode wireless transmit and receive units (WTRUs) capable of operating in both the first duplexing type and the second duplexing type;
a radio network controller (RNC), said RNC including setting means for setting a minimum quality level for the first duplexing type;
instructing means for instructing each of the plurality of WTRUs to report the extent of coverage of the second duplexing type; and
deciding means for deciding whether to handover a WTRU from the first duplexing type to the second duplexing type; and
at least one base station communicating between said plurality of WTRUs and said RNC.
