Abstract: Systems and methods for multicast data traffic service continuity under multicast-broadcast services (MBS) operation during a radio resource control (RRC) state or mode transition are described. In some embodiments, a user equipment (UE) receives, from a network, while in an RRC connected mode, an RRC release message comprising an RRC inactive mode point to multipoint (PTM) configuration that uses an MBS session to receive multicast data traffic while the UE is in an RRC inactive mode; enters the RRC inactive mode from the RRC connected mode in response to the RRC release message; and uses the RRC inactive mode PTM configuration to receive, from the network, the multicast data traffic of the MBS session while the UE is in the RRC inactive mode. Cases where a UE instead re-uses an RRC connected mode PTM configuration after transitioning to the RRC inactive mode are also described. Analogous network behaviors are described.

Abstract: Transmission occasions in a multi-PUSCH CG cycle can be identified as unused transmission occasions (UTOs) or used transmission occasions. HARQ PIDs for transmission occasions of the multi-PUSCH CG cycle can be determined prior to processing the first PUSCH. UTOs among all transmission occasions of the multi-PUSCH CG cycle can be determined based on a CG timer associated with the HARQ PIDs, status of a logical channel buffer associated with the multi-PUSCH CG, and prioritization of additional grants. HARQ PIDs can be remapped or changed to no longer be blocked by the CG timer. Overlapping transmission occasions of other grants may or may not be prioritized based on whether they overlap with multi-PUSCH CG transmission occasions already identified as UTOs. The use status of the transmission occasions can be reevaluated when certain conditions are met. Base stations can automatically refrain from decoding multi-PUSCH CG transmission occasions blocked by a CG timer.

For example, a UE can be connected to a base station DU via a first cell and can be configured with information about a second cell.

Upon a command to establish a connection with the second cell (e.g., a MAC CE handover command), the UE can determine whether an L2 reset is to be performed or not based on the configuration information (e.g., the L2 reset can be foregone when the two cells are provided by the same base station DU; otherwise, the L2 reset can be performed).
