1. A method for synchronizing bearer contexts between a transmitter entity and a receiver entity, the method comprising:
- detecting, at the transmitter entity, an update in a status of a bearer context; and
transmitting a bearer context status information element (IE) in a non-access stratum (NAS) message from the transmitter entity to the receiver entity, wherein the bearer context status IE is based on the update in the status of the bearer context, and wherein the NAS message is a next message sent from the transmitter entity to the receiver entity based on the update in the status of the bearer context being detected.

Abstract
Method and apparatus efficiently signal and use resources for wireless communications supporting circuit switched (CS) and packet switched sessions (PS). Signaling and interaction between the wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU), and various network entities, such as the Mobility Management Entity (MME), the Visitor Location Register (VLR), and Base Stations (BS), are used to implement circuit switched fall back (CSFB) in a PS system.

7. A transmitter entity for synchronizing bearer contexts with a receiver entity, the transmitter entity configured at least in part to:
-
detect an update in a status of a bearer context; and provide a bearer context status information element (IE) in a non-access stratum (NAS) message to the receiver entity, wherein the bearer context status IE is based on the update in the status of the bearer context, and wherein the NAS message is a next message sent from the transmitter entity to the receiver entity based on the update in the status of the bearer context being detected. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)
