    摘要: Herein described are apparatuses, systems, and methods related to handover operations of user equipment within a wireless network. An apparatus for an evolved NodeB (eNB) may include circuitry to determine one or more candidate eNBs available to provide service to a user equipment (UE) based on cell information received from one or more other eNBs, and generate an autonomous handover (HO) information message for transmission to the UE, wherein the autonomous HO information message includes an indication of the one or more candidate eNBs. The apparatus may further include memory to store the indication of the one or more candidate eNBs. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

    摘要: Described is an apparatus of a fifth generation (5G) Evolved Node-B (eNB) operable to communicate with a 5G User Equipment (UE) on a wireless network comprising one or more processors operable to generate one or more 5G Physical Downlink Shared Channel (xPDSCH) transmissions. The one or more processors may be operable to arrange the one or more xPDSCH transmissions for transmission through one or more respectively corresponding beamformed (Tx) beams. The one or more xPDSCH transmissions may carry one or more respectively corresponding 5G System Information Blocks (xSIBs).

    摘要: A user equipment (UE) is configured to simultaneously connect to a primary cell (PCell) and a primary secondary cell (PSCell) of a wireless network, wherein a primary component carrier (PCC) of the PCell and a primary secondary component carrier (PSCC) of the PSCell are both in frequency range 1 (FR1). The UE receives a PCC measurement object (MO) configuration, a PSCC MO configuration, and an inter-frequency MO with no measurement gap configuration, determines a PCC MO carrier specific scaling factor (CSSF), a PSCC MO CSSF, and an inter-frequency MO with no measurement gap CSSF and applies each respective CSSF to a measurement period corresponding to each of the PCC MO, the PSCC MO, and the inter-frequency MO with no measurement gap to determine a scaled measurement period corresponding to each of the PCC MO, the PSCC MO, and the inter-frequency MO with no measurement gap.

    摘要: Approaches are described for receiving downlink signals simultaneously where analog beamforming is being used to increase the link budget between the base station and user equipment (UE). Alternatives within these approaches include the UE determining the synchronization signal block (SSB) to receive when there are multiple SSBs from different cells in a slot, and determining whether there are other signals in the same symbols with the selected SSB based on the type of signal and the SSB's functionality. In the case where there are another downlink signals channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS) or physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) from another cell, the UE selects the corresponding quasi co-location (QCL) assumption to receive the signals. Optionally, the UE can report whether it can support one or two QCL-TypeD at a time and whether it supports SSBs in different cells multiplexed in overlapped symbols.

    摘要: A user equipment (UE) is configured to receive a command for a transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state change for a joint TCI state including uplink (UL) and downlink (DL) signals, decode the joint TCI state command and performing measurements necessary to receive and transmit with the target TCI state, the measurements including a pathloss (PL) measurement for an UL channel and switch to receive the DL signals and transmit the UL signals with the target TCI state no later than a time duration for a switching delay.
