Abstract: It is provided a method comprising: checking if an indication indicates that a target cell is configured to store concurrently first and second configurations of a terminal, wherein the first configuration is based on a first conditional handover request, and the second configuration data set is based on a second conditional handover request; monitoring if the source cell intends performing a radio reconfiguration of the terminal after the source cell configured the terminal for the first conditional handover; canceling the first conditional handover if the source cell intends performing the radio reconfiguration and the indication does not indicate the concurrently storing; instructing the source cell to request the second conditional handover from the target cell if the source cell intends performing the radio reconfiguration and the indication indicates the concurrently storing.

Abstract: According to an example embodiment, a method may include determining, by a first base station associated with a first cell based on a synchronization signal block (SSB) configuration indicating one or more resources on which a synchronization signal block (SSB) may be transmitted by a second cell, one or more interference protected resources on which the first cell will reduce interference towards the second cell; and sending, by the first base station associated with the first cell to a second base station associated with the second cell, information identifying the one or more interference protected resources on which the first cell will reduce interference towards the second cell.

Abstract: According to an example embodiment, a client device comprises at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code. The at least one memory and the computer program code may be configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the client device to: receive a measurement configuration from a first network node device, receive a preconfigured condition for the measurement configuration from the first network node device, and in response to the preconfigured condition for the measurement configuration being fulfilled, use the measurement configuration. A client device, a network node device, methods, and computer programs are disclosed.

Abstract: Improved techniques of managing measurement gaps for MPUEs include identifying an idle time for the UE in a coordinated and network-controlled manner during which the UE is able to perform SSB/CSI-RS based measurements for a serving cell using non-serving panels. Such idle time is defined as an omitted operation time (i.e., an idle time of a certain pre-defined length) in which the network has to apply the scheduling restrictions in the SSBs' symbols to the UE. Note that currently as per the RAN4 requirements, the network must apply scheduling restrictions in all SSB symbols for all UEs in FR2 at any time (i.e., worst case scenario).

Abstract: A PCell for a UE participates in a first phase to add a PSCell to a set of cells including the PCell to be used by the UE for a MCHO, comprising determining that the UE is to participate in the MCHO, and sending indications of at least resources for selected ones of multiple candidate cells toward the UE for use for the MCHO. The PCell participates in a second phase to add the PSCell to the set, comprising determining by the PCell which of the selected multiple cells has been accessed by the UE as the PSCell. The PCell participates in a swap from being the PSCell for the UE to becoming a current PSCell for the UE, wherein the PSCell is swapped from the PSCell to being a current PCell for the UE. The current PSCell participates in a release of a connection to the UE.

Abstract: An example embodiment relates to Random Access Channel, RACH, procedure, for example in the New Radio, NR. Random access procedures may be of two types, contention based CBRA and contention free, CFRA. A client device may only perform CBRA fallback when none of the reference signal received strengths, RSRPs, of the synchronization signal blocks, SSBs, which is associated with the CFRA resources is above a predefined threshold, T1. All SSBs and CSI-RS with associated CFRA resources may be below the threshold. Then, the client device may select an SSB or CSI-RS according to a predefined rule and perform CFRA when CFRA resources are associated. Devices, methods and computer programs are disclosed accordingly.
