    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) may perform configured to perform layer 1 (L1) measurements and layer 3 (L3) measurements. The UE receives a first configuration for layer 1 (L1) measurements of a resource set comprising a plurality of reference signals (RS) and a second configuration for layer 3 (L3) measurements, the first configuration including periodic measurement occasions and a reporting periodicity for transmitting measurement reports comprising the L1 measurements, determines the L3 measurements collide with at least one of the plurality of RSs for the L1 measurements, wherein the colliding causes a determination of the L1 measurements to be muted for the at least one RS during at least one of the measurement occasions and alters at least a first measurement report so that the L1 measurements that collide with the L3 measurements are not reported in at least one reporting periodicity.

    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) receives TCI state configurations for a plurality of signals, wherein a first state configuration comprises a first port for a first signal being quasi-co-located (QCL) to a second port of a second signal and a second state configuration comprises the second port of the second signal being QCL to a third port of a third signal and determines a TCI chain comprising the first, second and third signals so that channel measurements for each one of the first, second and third signals are applied to channel measurements for each other one of the first, second and third signals, wherein at least one of the first, second or third signals is an uplink (UL) signal.

    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is configured to monitor synchronization signal blocks (SSB) transmitted by a base station of a network. The UE receives a configuration comprising a first indication of a quasi-co-location (QCL) relationship between synchronization signal block (SSB) positions and a second indication of a location of one or more sets of target SSBs, wherein SSBs in each of one or more sets of target SSBs are quasi-co-located, determines a number of SSB occasions corresponding to each set of the one or more sets of target SSBs to be transmitted by the base station and determines a monitoring scheme for the one or more sets of target SSBs based on, at least, the configuration and the number of SSB occasions corresponding to each set of target SSBs.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, apparatus, and computer programs, for implementing dual-connectivity handover. In one aspect, a method includes determining, by user equipment (UE), whether the UE is capable of simultaneous communication with a source cell and a target cell, generating, by the UE, a handover indicator, the handover indicator having one or more fields structuring data that indicates that the UE is capable of simultaneous communication with the source cell and the target cell, transmitting, by the UE, the handover indicator to an access node, and receiving, by the UE and from the access node based on receipt by the access node of the handover indicator, a command to perform handover.

    Abstract: An approach is described for a user equipment (UE), wherein the UE includes radio front end circuitry and processor circuitry coupled to the radio front end circuitry. The processor circuitry receives a reference signal from a source device via a radio link, wherein the reference signal is one of the synchronization signal block (SSB) signal or channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS). The processor circuitry measures a quality of the reference signal, and measures an evaluation time of the reference signal. The processor circuitry determines a first indicator of the radio link based on the quality of the reference signal, and determine a second indicator of the radio link based on the evaluation time of the reference signal. The processor circuitry then determines a status of a connection of the radio link based on the first indicator and the second indicator of the radio link, and generate a message based the status of the connection. The radio front end circuitry then transmits the message to the source device.

    Abstract: A system, method, and apparatus is provided for performing carrier aggregation (CA) radio resource management (RRM). The system, method, and apparatus can receive a configuration message having configuration information from an access node; determine a measurement period for a secondary cell (SCell) and a cell identification delay based upon the configuration information; identify a new detectable cell on a secondary component carrier (SCC) as the SCell within the cell identification delay; perform a measurement for a CA operation within the measurement period; and report the measurement to the access node. The configuration message can be a Radio Resource Control (RRC) message. The measurement for the CA operation can be a measurement of the SCell on the SCC. The system, method, and apparatus can multiply a measurement control parameter by a factor less than five (5) to determine the measurement period and can multiply a measurement control parameter by a factor less than twenty (20) to determine the cell identification delay. The system, method, and apparatus can further perform an action with respect to the SCell in response to the measurement.
