Abstract:
A method of wireless communication determines whether the timing of a non-serving RAT is known. When the timing is known and it is time to report on the non-serving RAT, the UE clears enough consecutive time slots to verify the identity of the base station in the non-serving RAT. During the cleared time slots the identity of the base station is verified. When the timing is unknown and it is time to report on the non-serving RAT, a UE clears enough consecutive time slots to measure the timing of the non-serving RAT and to verify the identity of a base station in the non-serving RAT. During the cleared time slots, the timing is acquired and the identity of the base station is verified.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus are provided for aggressive beam selection during a handover procedure. A User Equipment (UE) measures a plurality of candidate downlink beams of a target base station (BS), wherein measurement opportunities for each of the candidate downlink beams are scheduled periodically. The UE reports measurements relating to one or more of the measured candidate downlink beams to a source BS. The UE receives a command to handover to the target BS, and in response to receiving the command, attempts to find a new downlink beam of the target BS having a corresponding measurement opportunity that is earlier than a next measurement opportunity of one of the one or more candidate downlink beam.

Abstract:
The scheduling rate of the synchronization channel (SCH) base station identity code (BSIC) is adapted based on target cell signal metric such as, the signal quality and/or signal strength. The scheduling rate is decreased when the target cell metric is below a first threshold value and is increased when the target cell metric is above a second threshold value. The scheduling rate may also be adapted based on a serving cell signal metric.
