1. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) configured to perform phased reconfiguration from a source cell to a target cell, wherein the WTRU is initially connected to the source cell, the WTRU comprising:
a processor operatively coupled to a transceiver;
the processor and transceiver configured to:
execute a first set of functions with the source cell until detection of at least one of a first set of preconfigured trigger conditions; and
execute a second set of functions with the target cell based on detection of at least one of a second set of preconfigured trigger conditions while continuing to execute the first set of functions with the source cell, wherein the first set of functions and the second set of functions include transmitting UL data.
