Abstract
Wireless communication systems, apparatuses, and techniques are described for interworking wireless technologies. Interworking wireless technologies can include operating a wireless communication system that includes multiple radio access technologies (RATs) to provide wireless services to multiple mobile devices, providing an enhanced inter-RAT OMP instance for a mobile device that is in communication with the wireless communication system via the first RAT, where the enhanced inter-RAT OMP instance includes an inactive state and a tunnel active state, operating the enhanced inter-RAT OMP instance to switch from the inactive state to the tunnel active state in response to a message associated with the second RAT, and using the enhanced inter-RAT OMP instance in the tunnel active state to send one or more overhead messages via a communication tunnel to the mobile device. Interworking wireless technologies can include providing an enhanced overhead message protocol (OMP) instance in a wireless sector to broadcast communication messages.
