  • Patent number: 11882469
    Abstract: Inter-cell mobility across serving and non-serving cells based on layer 3 measurements is accomplished at the cost of increased delay. Inter-cell mobility across serving and non-serving cells based on layer 1 measurements minimized delay. A user equipment (UE) apparatus that is served by a serving cell of a base station receives, from the serving cell, a configuration to perform layer 1 (L1) measurements based on one or more reference signals from a non-serving cell. The UE also receives the one or more reference signals from the non-serving cell. The UE performs the L1 measurements on the one or more reference signals received from the non-serving cell based on the configuration received from the base station. The UE may perform the L1 measurements on a synchronization signal block (SSB), a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS), or a positioning reference signal (PRS) from the non-serving cell.

  • Patent number: 11784911
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus relating to the use of aggregated links, e.g., links in a bundle, are described. A normal link metric and a limited operation mode link metric a determined for a link bundle, the normal link metric having a lower value than the limited operational mode link metric. The status of links in a link bundle are monitored. Based on the number of currently operational links in a link bundle and a switching threshold, a decision is made whether to advertise the normal link metric, advertise the limited operation mode threshold or refrain from advertising any link metric. The use of the limited operation link metric facilitates the use of a partially failed link bundle providing an alternative routing path in the network that would not otherwise be available.
