Abstract: The method includes determining a first type of a target network device for a first handover, the first type indicating whether a network device is a master network device or a secondary network device; transmitting a first message indicating the first type of the target network device for the first handover, so that the terminal device is disconnected with the first type of a source network device; and in response to the terminal device being connected with the first type of the target network device, a second message indicating that the first handover is completed, and the terminal device being connected with a second type of a target network device and disconnected with the second type of a source network device in a second handover, the second type being different from the first type and indicating whether a network device is a master network device or a secondary network device.

Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for enhancing the setup of carrier aggregation (or dual connectivity or multi connectivity or stand-alone LTE/LTE-like on unlicensed band or LAA or LTE-WLAN aggregation) from IDLE mode (or semi-idle or semi-connected or suspended state) are provided. One method includes providing an indication, to at least one UE, of (or configuring the UE with) potential inter-frequency carriers that the UE should measure during IDLE mode (or during semi-idle or semi-connected or suspended state) for potential SCells. The method may further include during or after RRC connection establishment, receiving an indication from the at least one UE that it has inter-frequency carrier(s) and/or SCell measurement results available, and based on the received measurement results, configuring carrier aggregation (or dual connectivity or multi connectivity or LAA or LTE-WLAN aggregation) without further measurements and activating the SCell.

Abstract: Example embodiments of the present disclosure relate to devices, methods, apparatuses and computer readable storage media of autonomous preconfigured measurement gap (Pre-MG) activation for a measurement of a positioning reference signal (PRS). In example embodiments, if it is determined that a measurement is to be performed for a PRS, a terminal device evaluates whether a Pre-MG is suitable for the measurement of the PRS. Then, the terminal device decides whether a Pre-MG is to be activated and transmits, to a base station, a first indication whether the Pre-MG is suitable for the measurement of the PRS.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to techniques that enable an efficient Radio Link Monitoring (RLM) for a User Equipment (UE) in a multi Transmitter Receiver Point (mTRP) scenario. For this purpose, a serving cell of a serving Distributed Unit (DU) of a disaggregated network node and at least one non-serving (or stand-by) cell of a non-serving DU of the disaggregated network node are configured fora UE. Then, the UE is informed of beams used for the serving and non-serving cells. The UE performs the RLM over the serving cell by using the beams of the serving cell. Whenever there is an Radio Link (RL) quality degradation (which may potentially lead to an RL Failure (RLF)) detected in the serving cell, the UE may initiate switching of the RLM from the serving cell to one of the non-serving cells by transmitting a corresponding request to the serving DU.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to supporting network controlled measurement interruption ratio. In an aspect, a terminal device determines, based on at least one measurement requirement, a first interruption ratio. The first interruption ratio is different from a second interruption ratio acceptable by the network device. The terminal device transmits, to a network device, a first message requesting the network device to grant the first interruption ratio. By implementing the embodiments of the present disclosure, network controlled measurement interruption ratio can be supported and the negative impact caused by the interruptions could be reduced.

Abstract: Improved techniques of handover involving dual connectivity configuration with CHO include configuring a UE with a conditional fallback configuration (CFC) linked to M-RLF event at the source MN. Specifically, the MN prepares a fallback configuration along with the CHO configuration for the UE. This fallback configuration is provided to the UE as a conditional configuration, but this is not linked to measurement-event but rather to a radio link failure event. The condition is linked to MCG-RLF along with additional measurement criteria.

Abstract: A first apparatus may be configured, over a serving cell, to indicate to a second apparatus controlling the operation of the serving cell, a suitability of a non-serving cell for one or more inter-cell purposes. For example, the first apparatus may receive from the second apparatus Layer 3, L3, measurement configuration information including a criterion for one or more first inter-cell purposes. When the first apparatus detects, based on performed L3 measurements of one or more reference signals in one or more non-serving cells that the criterion is met for L3 measurements of a first reference signal in a first non-serving cell, the first apparatus transmits a measurement report indicating that the first non-serving cell is a suitable cell for performing L1 measurements by the first apparatus for one or more second inter-cell purposes.

Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for early measurement reporting during small data transmission. A method may include receiving, from a network element, an early measurement reporting configuration. The method may also include receiving, from the network element, an indication of whether early measurement reporting during small data transmission is allowed. The method may further include initiating small data transmission to the network element. In addition, the small data transmission may include an early measurement reporting report when early measurement is allowed.
