Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for a UE to perform measurements of measurement resources transmitted by a network when the UE is configured with multiple concurrent measurement gap patterns (MGPs). The measurement resources may be carried on multiple carrier frequencies. The UE may receive measurement resource configuration parameters identifying time and frequency locations of the measurement resources transmitted on the multiple carrier frequencies. The UE may receive measurement gap configuration parameters for multiple concurrent MGPs specifying measurement intervals that may be used to perform the measurements. The UE may determine a linkage between the measurement resources on a carrier frequency and one of the concurrent MGPs so that the UE may independently measure the measurement resources received on the multiple carrier frequencies using their respectively linked MGPs.

Abstract: Techniques, described herein, include solutions for interruption arrangement for a User Equipment (UE) performing gap-less measurements. Traditionally, a UE configured a time duration, known as a measurement gap, to prepare Radio Frequency (RF) circuitry for performing measurement and to perform measurement. By using spare RF circuitry to perform measurement, a UE may perform ‘gap-less’ measurement without a measurement gap. When preparing for gapless measurement, interruption may occur depending on many factors that may vary depending on the UE and the currently active frequency bands. The UE may use interrupts for the time required to prepare the spare RF circuitry to perform gapless measurement. The UE may communicate to the network a temporal location, and a duration, of the interrupts via various information elements (IEs), so that the network may know when interrupts are allocated.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) includes a first and second receiving (RX) panel and is configured to determine the UE is to perform Layer-1 (L1) measurements on beams transmitted by a first and second transmission and reception point (TRP), wherein the UE tests a minimum number of beams using beam sweeping operations prior to selecting the beams for L1 measurements, wherein the minimum number corresponds to a number of beam sweeping rounds. In a first beam sweeping round, the UE simultaneously activates the first and second RX panels to generate one RX beam for a beam sweeping operation. In subsequent beam sweeping rounds, the UE performs beam sweeping operations until the minimum number of beams are tested, selects a first beam of the first TRP and a second beam of the second TRP for the L1 measurements and performs the L1 measurements.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) communicates with a base station having a first transmission and reception point (TRP) and a second TRP. The UE is configured to determine a beam failure for a first beam transmitted by the first TRP and perform a candidate beam detection (CBD) operation to evaluate candidate beams for communicating with the first TRP, wherein the CBD operation comprises determining whether each candidate beam is compatible with an active beam being transmitted to the UE by the second TRP.

Abstract: The present application relates to techniques for UE-based TA estimations. For example, a UE can be connected to a base station via a first cell and can be configured with information for a UE-based TA estimation. This information can be included in a cell configuration of a second cell, a group configuration of a group of cells, or a measurement configuration. The UE can perform a first timing measurement on a first reference signal sent by the first cell and a second timing measurement on a second reference signal sent by the second cell. Upon a command to connect to the second cell (e.g., for a first cell to second cell handover), the UE can determine a timing difference between the two timing measurements and determine, based on a first TA of the first cell and the timing difference, a second TA to use for the second cell.

Abstract: The techniques described herein can include solutions for user equipment (UE) behavior) for synchronization signal block (SSB) offset transition of satellite switching. In some examples, during satellite switching, SSBs from the source satellite and target satellite can have the same periodicity while being transmitted at the same time according to a tie offset during a coverage overlap. Satellite switching can include cell searching and fine time tracking. The UE may complete cell searching, fine time tracking, or both, prior to expiration of the coverage overlap by beginning cell searching and fine time tracking earlier. After satellite switching, the time offset can be adjusted to re-synchronize the SSBs of the target satellite. In some examples, the UE may not complete cell searching, fine time tracking, or both, prior to expiration of the coverage overlap. The UE can determine the location of the target satellite based on redefined synchronization parameters.

Abstract: Systems and methods for performing inter-frequency and intra-frequency measurements without measurement gap use are discussed herein. A UE receives, from a network, configuration information for performing an inter-frequency or intra-frequency synchronization signal block (SSB) measurement outside of an active bandwidth part (BWP) without a measurement gap, and, in response, performs, without using the measurement gap, the inter-frequency/intra-frequency SSB measurement on an inter-frequency/intra-frequency SSB that is located outside of the active BWP and within a UE channel bandwidth (CBW) corresponding to the active BWP. Capability information detailing whether the UE supports this behavior may be provided from the UE to the network. The network may provide a threshold for a measurement object (MO) that is used by the UE to determine whether to perform such SSB measurements without a measurement gap.
