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: There is herein disclosed a method for receiving, from a radio access network node, a conditional handover configuration for a plurality of target cells and a radio condition for conditional handover of the UE for a plurality of target cells. The method further comprises receiving, from the radio access network node, an indication that the UE is allowed to select and connect to a preferred target cell from the plurality of target cells. The method further comprises selecting the preferred target cell from the plurality of target cells based on network slice area of service availability information for each target cell configured at the UE and the radio condition and transmitting, a request to connect to the preferred target cell.

Abstract: Techniques of cell change in a SCO DEACTIVATED state includes a master node configuring a user equipment with a partial Conditional PSCell Addition Change (CPAC) which only contain the configurations relevant for common channel access without any dedicated configurations. The improved technique proposes a modified CPAC configuration procedure to reduce the overall signalling messages and frequency of network communication, involved in UE switching between SCGs in SCG-DEACTIVATED state.

Abstract: Techniques for coordination between nodes for measurement configuration in a Primary Secondary Cell Group (SCG) Cell (PSCell) change procedure in cellular wireless communication networks are provided. For example, a method for a Primary Secondary Cell Group (SCG) Cell (PSCell) change procedure is provided. The method comprises: sending, from a master node (MN) to a target secondary node (T-SN), a first message (e.g., an SN Addition Request message) including configuration information based on which the T-SN determines whether to provide a full configuration or a delta configuration for measurement-related information for one or more candidate target PSCells acknowledged by the T-SN; and receiving, at the MN from the T-SN in accordance with the configuration information, a second message (e.g., an SN Addition Request Acknowledge message) including the full configuration or the delta configuration for measurement-related information for the one or more candidate target PSCells acknowledged by the T-SN.

Abstract: There are provided measures for enabling/realizing an early evaluation for conditional reconfiguration in a mobile/wireless communication system. Such measures exemplarily include that a communication entity obtains an evaluation measurement configuration and an evaluation candidate cell set, performs an evaluation measurement in accordance with the evaluation measurement configuration on the evaluation candidate cell set, and performs or starts evaluating an execution condition for conditional reconfiguration for the evaluation candidate cell set on the basis of a result of the evaluation measurement, in the absence of and/or prior to availability of an actual configuration for conditional reconfiguration.
