Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for handling measurement operations in a wireless communication system are provided. A method performed by a User Equipment (UE) includes receiving a first measurement configuration from a first serving cell; performing, in a first Radio Resource Control (RRC) state which is an RRC idle state or an RRC inactive state, a first measurement operation based on the first measurement configuration; generating a first measurement result; receiving a first measurement report request from a second serving cell; retaining the first measurement result after the UE transitions from the first RRC state to a second RRC state which is an RRC connected state; and transmitting the first measurement result to the second serving cell, wherein the first serving cell and the first RRC state are associated with a first Radio Access Technology (RAT) and the second serving cell and the second RRC state are associated with a second RAT.

Abstract: A UE and a method for handling UE onboarding are provided. The method includes receiving a first indication, a second indication, and a third indication from a cell via a SIB1, the cell operated by one or more SNPNs; reporting, by an AS layer of the UE, the first indication, the second indication, and the third indication to a NAS layer of the UE; receiving, by the AS layer of the UE, an indication for UE onboarding from the NAS layer of the UE; and transmitting a first RRC message to the cell, the first RRC message including an onboarding request associated with the indication for UE onboarding.

Abstract: A method for a system information (SI) request procedure performed by a user equipment (UE) is provided. The method includes: receiving a system information block type 1 (SIB1) from a cell; transmitting, to the cell, a first message including a common control channel (CCCH) service data unit (SDU) that includes a radio resource control (RRC) SI request message; receiving, from the cell, a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) including a UE contention resolution identity; and indicating, by a MAC entity of the UE, reception of an acknowledgment for the RRC SI request message to an RRC entity of the UE after determining that the UE contention resolution identity matches multiple consecutive bits, starting from the most significant bit (MSB), of the CCCH SDU. The SIB1 does not include information related to a Random Access (RA) resource specific to SI requested by the RRC SI request message.

Abstract: A system and a method of controlling a drone based on pressure are provided. The method includes: installing a pressure sensor under a bearing surface of a platform body; obtaining a pressure distribution map via the pressure sensor; obtaining a centroid on the bearing surface by inputting the pressure distribution map to a machine learning model; calculating a vector from a reference centroid on the bearing surface to the centroid; and controlling a flight of the drone according to the vector.
