Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for conditional handover (CHO) execution with network slice service continuity prioritization are provided. A radio resource control (RRC) reconfiguration message sent by a source radio access network (RAN) node to the user equipment (UE) may include, for each CHO configuration, an associated network slice-related priority index. The UE may take this index into account when selecting a suitable cell during CHO recovery. Additionally, or alternatively, the RRC reconfiguration message sent by a source RAN node may include, for each CHO configuration, an associated network slice support information of the candidate target cell. The message may also include network slice remapping information for any network slice associated with one of the candidate target cells. Using the above network slice-related information received from the network, the UE can prioritize the cell to select during CHO recovery in case more than one suitable cell is available.

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 is provided a user equipment apparatus that includes at least one processor and memory storing instructions. The instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the user equipment apparatus at least to: establish a connection with a serving cell controlled by a serving network node; perform configuration for L1/L2 triggered mobility (LTM) to a target cell, the target cell controlled by one of: the serving network node or a target network node; prior to receiving a command to switch to the target cell: transmit, towards the target cell, a random access preamble for acquiring timing advance for the target cell; and receive, from the serving network node, an instruction to acquire timing advance for the target cell.

Abstract: An apparatus including at least one processor; and at least one non-transitory memory storing instructions that, when executed with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform: receiving a combined information, where the combined information includes first information regarding inter-cell beam management and second information regarding lower layer mobility; using the second information to initiate a handover of the apparatus from a first cell to a second cell; and using the first information to provide communication of the apparatus with another cell at least partially during the handover to the second cell, where the another cell includes the first cell or a third cell.

Abstract: An apparatus including at least one processor; and at least one non-transitory memory storing instructions that, when executed with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to: determine that a conditional handover condition is met; and based upon the determining that the conditional handover condition is met and based, at least partially, on a priority information, select a conditional handover configuration from at least one conditional handover configuration to perform a conditional 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 at least to, establish a connection with a control network node via a serving cell, where the serving cell is supported by a source network node; receive, from the control network node and/or the source network node, timing advance (TA) cell configurations for a set of timing advance (TA) cells, where the TA cell configurations include a TA-associated random access (RA) configuration, where the set of TA cells includes first TA cells that include candidate target cells with which the UE may connect and/or other TA cells which are requested by at candidate target cells and which the UE may connect with in case the UE connects with the one of the candidate target cells; and acquire TA for the TA cell based on the TA-associated RA configuration.

Abstract: There is provided an apparatus that includes at least one processor and at least one memory storing instructions. The instructions, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to, receive a list of features of radio resource control (RRC) configuration, where the list is provided by a target secondary node (target SN) of a conditional handover (CHO) procedure, and where the list indicates, for each feature of the list of features of RRC configuration, whether a change in the respective feature requires cancellation or re-initialization of CHO; and, during the CHO procedure, based on information regarding a secondary cell group (SCG) reconfiguration for a source secondary node (source SN), compare the information with the list to determine whether the SCG reconfiguration requires cancellation or re-initialization of the CHO procedure.

Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer program products for conditional proactive discontinuous reception (DRX) measurement are provided. For example, a user equipment (UE) may be in a DRX active state (e.g., where the DRX is used) and configured to proactively measure for radio problems. Another example may relate to a network-controlled implementation where the serving network node (e.g., a base station (BS)) may signal the UE a condition and a configuration for the proactive DRX measurement. Another example may relate to a UE-controlled implementation for improving service unavailability using DRX operation. For example, the serving BS may signal, to the UE, proactive DRX measurement assistance information.
