    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.

    摘要: A user equipment (UE) is configured to simultaneously connect to a primary cell (PCell) serving a primary component carrier (PCC), a primary secondary cell (PSCell) serving a primary secondary component carrier (PSCC) and at least one secondary cell (SCell) serving a secondary component carrier (SCC), wherein the PSCell is in a deactivated state. The UE receives a radio resource management (RRM) measurement configuration comprising a PCC measurement object (MO) configuration, a PSCC MO configuration, and an SCC MO configuration, determines a PCC MO carrier specific scaling factor (CSSF), a PSCC MO CSSF, and an SCC MO CSSF and applies each respective CSSF to a measurement period corresponding to each of the PCC MO, the PSCC MO, and the SCC MO.

    摘要: Some aspects of this disclosure relate to apparatuses and methods for implementing techniques for a user equipment (UE) having dual connectivity. The UE can communicate with a first primary base station in a first primary cell (PCell) and a second primary base station in a second PCell. The UE has dual connectivity in the second PCell using a first wireless carrier to communicate with the second primary base station and a second wireless carrier to communicate with a secondary base station in a primary secondary cell (PSCell). The UE receives a message from the first primary base station to perform a handover procedure. The UE performs the handover procedure according to the received message, and further perform an addition procedure for the secondary base station in parallel with the handover procedure. A start time of the addition procedure can be before an end time of the handover procedure.

    摘要: Some aspects include an apparatus, method, and computer program product for beamforming to perform received signal strength indicator (RSSI) measurements in a 5G wireless communications system. This beamforming may apply to RSSI measurements in an unlicensed spectrum. In some aspects, user equipment (UE) may use beam sweeping to analyze multiple received beams and to determine an RSSI measurement. When using beam sweeping, network nodes may use scheduling and/or measurement restrictions to avoid data collisions. These restrictions may apply to multiple active serving cells. In some aspects, a UE may use beam selection to determine an RSSI measurement. For example, the UE may select one or more beams from a serving component carrier (CC). In some aspects, a network node may indicate to the UE which beams to use for the RSSI measurement. In some aspects, the UE may use a frequency domain resource to perform the RSSI measurement.

    摘要: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for hybrid measurement gap operation. A network-side device may provide a hybrid measurement gap (MG) configuration to a wireless device, the hybrid measurement gap (MG) configuration scheduling measurement operation of the wireless device in accordance with hybrid measurement gap patterns. The wireless device may receive the hybrid measurement gap (MG) configuration, and thus perform measurement operation based on the hybrid measurement gap patterns as scheduled.

    摘要: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for enhancement in NTN mobility. A cellular base station may serve as a source base station of a handover procedure from the source base station to a target non-terrestrial network (NTN) base station. The cellular base station may configure a parameter associated with the target NTN base station in a handover command, the parameter being related to NTN mobility, and send the handover command to a wireless device for use by the wireless device during the handover procedure. The wireless device may receive the handover command from the cellular base station, and perform the handover procedure using the parameter associated with the target NTN base station.
