Abstract: A method of configuring a set of active cells among neighboring cells to reduce latency and interruption for inter-cell mobility is proposed. The set of active cells is an active set of cells among which UE can do fast cell switching. The set of active cells is configured by the network based on UE measurement report or network deployment information. UE maintains the configuration and can perform pre-synchronization to the configured active cells in downlink (DL) only or in both DL and uplink (UL). UE maintains the DL/UL synchronization with the active cells, and applies configuration once UE is indicated to switch to an active cell as the target cell. Because UE maintains the configuration and DL/UL timing of the target cell before receiving the cell-switch command, the mobility latency and interruption time for inter-cell mobility is reduced.

The CSI report configuration indicates CSI reference signal (CSI-RS) resources configured for transmitting CSI-RSs from multiple transmission and reception points (TRPs). An CSI-RS measurement process can be performed at the UE based on the CSI-RSs transmitted from the multiple TRPs using the CSI-RS resources indicated by the CSI report configuration. A CSI report can be transmitted from the UE to the base station based on the CSI report configuration. The CSI report includes information of one or more phase differences or one or more amplitude differences among the CSI-RSs transmitted from the multiple TRPs.

A PUSCH can be transmitted using two antenna groups of the N antenna groups corresponding to the two SRIs indicated in the DCI and two precoders corresponding to the two TPMIs indicated in the DCI.

Abstract: Methods are proposed to derive measurement results for User Equipment (UE) antenna selection, beam selection, cell selection, handover, and radio resource management (RRM). First, UE determines its mobility state by using at least two of the following metrics: 1) Doppler information (e.g., from mobility detection gear, MD); 2) beam ping-pong rate, beam change rate, beam change per time period; and 3) moving speed and moving direction from an accelerometer sensor, rotation speed from a gyroscope, ambient magnetic field from a magnetic field sensor, and at least one active antenna set. Next, UE uses an averaging number that is adapted based on its mobility state to derive an average measurement result including at least one of RSRP, RSRQ, RSSI, IL, SNR, and SINR. Finally, UE performs antenna selection, beam selection, cell selection, or RRM based on the average measurement result and joint consideration.
