Abstract: A method (400) for preserving a user's network experience. The method can include, for at least one network resource (135) accessed during a user session, selectively storing session information (140) associated with the network resource. The session information can include, for example, content provided by the network resource, an attribute associated with the network resource, and/or associated transport layer session information. The session information can be stored on a network server (120) or on a communication device (115). The session information can be associated with the user session and a session identifier (155) can be associated with the session information. A request can be received from a user to access the session information and, responsive to verifying that the user is authorized to access the session information, the session information can be provided to the user.

Abstract: A method and a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) for communication in a first and a different second type of wireless networks. The WTRU includes respective components configured for wireless communication of user data with the respective first and second type of wireless networks and an upper layer application processing component configured to process user data. An interface coupling the upper layer application processing component and the respective types of wireless components selectively controls the flow of user data. The interface include a controllable data buffer switch that defines a multi-pronged bufferable path for user data between the upper layer application processing component and respective types of wireless components. A control device controls the data buffer switch to buffer user data in connection with switching user data flow from one prong of the multi-pronged bufferable path to another prong of the multi-pronged bufferable path.

Abstract: A mobile wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU), components and methods therefor provide continuous communications capability while switching from a wireless connection with a first type of wireless system to a wireless connection with a second type of wireless system. Preferably, the WTRU is configured to switch wireless links from a Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) to a wireless local area network (WLAN) or vice versa during a continuous communication session. The invention is preferably implemented by providing an Application Broker for control signaling and a Communications broker for user data flow which may be embodied in an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC).
