Upgrades to a new release such as 11g R1 require that the Oracle software be installed in a new directory. After installing the new release you can then apply the patchset and the Critical Patch Update (CPU) before starting the upgrade of the database. This would ensure that the upgrade would both move the database to the new release and the new patchset.
