Abstract: When a given user equipment (UE) has a plurality K of cells currently serving it, in various embodiments there is an algorithm for triggering the UE to wirelessly send a cell measurement report. The algorithm utilizes a parameter whose value is dependent on the number K of cells currently in the UE's active set. The UE updates K anytime a new cell is added to, or a serving cell is removed from, the UE's active set. In various examples the parameter is an offset that operates such that for adding a new cell increasing values of K make it more difficult to satisfy the algorithm. One example has the offset's value computed using a slope value provided by the network and a default offset value; another has the offset's value computed using maximum and minimum allowable values of both K and the offset which are provided by the network.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) includes at least one processor and at least one memory including computer program code. The at least one memory and the computer program code are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the UE to obtain a conditional handover command, the conditional handover command indicating a multiple cell target for handover from a source cell and at least one performance margin, each of the at least one performance margin associated with a cell neighboring a first cell in the multiple cell target, determine whether to initiate a handover to the first cell based on the at least one performance margin, and transmit data to the first cell based on the determination of whether to initiate the handover.

Abstract: A user equipment apparatus (UE) includes processor(s) and memory storing instructions. The instructions, when executed by the processor(s), cause the UE to: prepare for timing advance (TA) acquisition for a candidate target cell; prepare for handover to the candidate target cell; identify at least one contention-free random access (CFRA) resource for the TA acquisition and for the handover; in case the CFRA resource(s) include a same CFRA resource for the TA acquisition and for the handover, use the same CFRA resource for the TA acquisition and for the handover; and in case the CFRA resource(s) include a first CFRA resource for the TA acquisition and a second CFRA resource for the handover, use the first CFRA resource for the TA acquisition for the candidate target cell and use the second CFRA resource for the handover to the candidate target cell.

Abstract: There are provided measures for feedback on network-assisted fallback to contention-based random access. Such measures exemplarily comprise, at a terminal connected to at least one network slice and being subject to a handover from a source access point to a target access point, receiving a handover command message including handover assistance information indicative of a first pool of random access channel resources to be used by said terminal upon fallback to contention-based random access during a handover processing, selecting first random access channel resources as attempt random access channel resources from said first pool of random access channel resources, attempting random access to said target access point utilizing said attempt random access channel resources, storing, if said attempting random access to said target access point utilizing said attempt random access channel resources is unsuccessful, attempt related information to an attempt failure list, and transmitting, if said attempting random access to said target access point utilizing said attempt random access channel resources is successful, said attempt failure list to said target access point.

Abstract: A UE, in response to a beam failure being detected for a serving cell that serves the user equipment, determines whether a timer is running. One of the following is performed by the UE: in response to the timer running, a beam failure recovery procedure with a target non-serving cell; or in response to the timer not running, a beam failure recovery procedure with the serving cell. Methods, apparatus, computer programs, and computer program products are disclosed.
