Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for beam management reporting in connected mode discontinuous reception (C-DRX) are provided. One method may include configuring, by a network node, a user equipment with a timer that may be started when user equipment active time starts. The method may also include, while the configured timer is running, preventing the user equipment from generating a beam management report autonomously.

Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for configuring Channel State Information-Reference Signal (CSI-RS) resources of neighboring cells for inter-cell mobility are provided. One method may include providing, by a network node, at least one reporting configuration to one or more user equipment. The reporting configuration is based on at least one of channel state information reference signals (CSI-RS) or synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel (SS/PBCH) blocks. The method may also include receiving at least one measurement report comprising measurement results when and as specified by the at least one reporting configuration.

Abstract: Various communication systems may benefit from improved handover. For example, it may be helpful to manage a list candidate cells to which a user equipment may be handed over. A method may include receiving at a user equipment a list of prepared candidate cells from a source cell. The method may also include transmitting the list of prepared candidate cells from the user equipment to a target cell after or during handover from the source cell to the target cell.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and a computer-readable storage medium for beam refinement of a two-step random access channel (RACH) procedure are provided. In some implementations, the method may include receiving a plurality of synchronization signal blocks (SSBs), a plurality of channel state information-reference signals (CSI-RSs) associated with each of the plurality of synchronization signal blocks (SSBs), and random access channel (RACH) configuration data from a gNB. The method may further include transmitting a first message of the two-step random access channel (RACH) procedure to the gNB, the first message including a first portion and a second portion. The first portion includes a preamble associated with a selected channel state information-reference signal (CSI-RS) of the plurality of channel state information-reference signals (CSI-RSs) and the second portion includes data associated with the preamble, and the data transmitted using pre-configured or pre-allocated resources.
