    Abstract: A performed by a first node (111). The method is for handling migration of a node. The first node (111) operates in a communications network (100). The first node (111) sends (1003) an indication to a second node (112) comprised in the communications network (100). The indication indicates a context of a third node (113). The third node (113) is comprised in the communications network (100) and is to be migrated from the first node (111) to the second node (112). The context is for control of radio resource. A content of the indication is based on whether the migration of the third node (113) is to be partial or full. The sending (1003) of the indication is performed in response to a first indication received from the second node (112). The first indication requests the context of the third node (113) from the first node (111).

    Abstract: A method for a User Equipment (UE) for performing a Layer1/Layer2 Triggered Mobility (LTM) operation is provided. The UE receives a target Transmission Configuration Indicator (TCI) state configuration and an LTM cell switch command indicating a target cell. The UE switches from the source cell to the target cell and applies a TCI state in the target cell. The TCI state is associated with the target TCI state configuration. The LTM cell switch command indicates the TCI state among a first set of TCI states in a case that the UE receives an LTM TCI state activation command. The LTM cell switch command indicates the TCI state among a second set of TCI states and activates the TCI state in a case that the UE does not receive the LTM TCI state activation command. The first set of TCI states is a subset of the second set of TCI states.

    Abstract: A method of a user equipment (UE) performing cell re-selection in New Radio (NR) unlicensed (NR-U) idle mode includes performing cell re-selection associated with a selected public land mobile network (PLMN) in New Radio (NR) unlicensed (NR-U) idle mode. Performing cell re-selection in NR-U idle mode further comprises determining a best cell associated with the selected PLMN based on one or more measurements. At least one of the one or more measurements may comprise a channel occupancy measurement. Performing cell re-selection in NR-U idle mode further comprises camping on the best cell and periodically searching for cells that are determined to be better than the best cell based on the one or more measurements.

    Abstract: In some implementations, a device may receive cell information regarding a current primary cell associated with a user equipment (UE), wherein the UE is further associated with a plurality of secondary cells. The device may determine, based on the cell information, that the UE is to be associated with a new primary cell, wherein the new primary cell is selected from the plurality of secondary cells. The device may generate configuration information indicating that: a particular secondary cell, of the plurality of secondary cells, is to become the new primary cell, and one or more other secondary cells, of the plurality of secondary cells, are to remain secondary cells. The device may provide, to the UE, the configuration information to configure the UE to communicate via the new primary cell.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an MLD AP that attempts to avoid roaming of STAs within its coverage area when one of the links of the STA is about fall out of the coverage area of the MLD AP. When the MLD STA moves in a way that puts one of its links on the verge of a coverage area, its servicing MLD AP attempts to reroute traffic to other in-range links of the STA if a TID-to-link mapping is in place that permits the rerouting. If no such TID-to-link mapping is present, then the MLD AP attempts to reassign traffic to one of the in-range links if one of the links has an acceptable quality of service and can handle the traffic on the out-of-range link. If these attempts fail, then the AP causes the MLD STA to roam to a nearby MLD AP.

    Abstract: The embodiments of the application disclose a mobile handover method. The method includes: a first network device receives first information, and learns that a first terminal device is handed over to a target access network device. The first network device sends second information to a second network device, and the second network device determines, based on the second information, whether to reselect a target user plane function device for the first terminal device; and/or the first network device sends third information to a third network device, and the third network device determines, based on the third information, whether to reselect a target application server for the first terminal device. If the target user plane function device and/or the target application server need/needs to be reselected, a user plane function device and/or an application server need/needs to be handed over in a timely manner.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a handover method performed by user equipment and user equipment. The handover method performed by user equipment (UE) comprises: receiving, by the UE, a handover command, the handover command instructing the UE to perform a handover from a source base station to a target base station with an enhanced handover mechanism; and applying, by the UE, to the target base station a Radio Resource Control (RRC) configuration comprised in the handover command, and maintaining an RRC configuration for the source base station at the same time, so as to perform the handover. In this way, the UE can communicate with the source base station and the target base station during the handover procedure, thereby implementing an enhanced handover mechanism, and reducing a handover interruption delay and a packet loss rate.
