Abstract: A method for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE) and related apparatus are provided. In the method, the UE monitors a serving cell through one or more active transmission configuration indication (TCI) states of the serving cell, and monitors a reference signal associated with one or more partially active TCI states of a non-serving cell for lower-layer triggered mobility (LTM). The UE further performs the LTM handover to change the serving cell in response to an LTM command and based on at least one of the partially active TCI states and the active TCI states. The method enables the UE to use a partially active TCI state to monitor a reference signal of candidate cells for LTM. It substantially reduces the LTM HO delay and interruption length during an LTM HO. Hence, it improves the efficiency of wireless communication.
