  • Publication number: 20220353762
    Abstract: Some aspects of this disclosure relate to apparatuses and methods for implementing techniques for support mobility in a wireless network for user equipments (UEs) with varying capabilities. A UE can receive a first system information from a serving base station, where the first system information includes a UE capability condition associated with a neighbor base station, and determine whether a UE capability meets the UE capability condition associated with the neighbor base station. When the UE capability condition is met, the UE can determine whether a first measurement of a first reference signal received from the serving base station and a second measurement of a second reference signal received from the neighbor base station satisfy a threshold condition. When the threshold condition is met, the UE can obtain a second system information from the neighbor base station, indicating the UE has performed handover to the neighbor base station.

  • Publication number: 20220303853
    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) may be configured with information to perform conditional handovers or addition/change of a primary secondary cell (PSCell). The UE receives a first radio resource control (RRC) configuration message from the source cell for conditional handover to the at least one target cell, the first RRC configuration message including conditional handover execution conditions, an RRC configuration and a target cell ID for each one of a list of target cells, performs measurements on the target cells to determine whether any one of the target cells fulfills its corresponding conditional handover execution conditions and, when a first target cell from the list of target cells fulfills its corresponding conditional handover execution conditions, initiates a handover to the first target cell.
