Abstract: Activating an uplink (UL) gap at a base station may include decoding a user equipment (UE) UL gap capability report received from a UE. A radio resource control (RRC) UL gap configuration may be encoded for transmission to the UE. A power headroom report (PHR) medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) received from the UE may be decoded. The PHR MAC CE may include at least one of a P value or a power management maximum power reduction (P-MPR) value. Decoding the measurement information may include determining that the P value is equal to one or the P-MPR value is greater than zero. Based on determining that the P value is equal to one or the P-MPR value is greater than zero, the UL gap configuration may be implicitly activated.

Abstract: A UE for a 5G system is to perform a measurement during a network controlled small gap (NCSG). The NCSG includes a first visible interruption length (VIL1), a measurement length (ML), a second visible interruption length (VIL2), and a visible interruption repetition period (VIRP). A UE capability indicates a length of one or both the VIL1 and the VIL2. NCSG pattern information provides the NCSG for the UE, in which the VIL1 and the VIL2 indicate when the UE is not expected to transmit and receive data on a serving carrier, the ML indicates when the UE is expected to transmit and receive data on the serving carrier, and the VIRP indicates a period in which to repeat the NCSG.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for performing dual active protocol stack handovers in a frequency range above 24 GHz. A UE may transmit an indication to a base station indicating a dual active protocol stack (DAPS) handover capability of the UE corresponding to a frequency range (FR) above 24 GHz. The UE may receive, from a target cell of the one or more cells, a command to perform a DAPS handover from a source cell to the target cell. While performing the DAPS handover and maintaining a data connection with the source cell, the UE may perform measurements on the target cell followed by a physical random access channel (PRACH) procedure. The UE may then receive a source cell release command from the target cell and release the data connection with the source cell.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to techniques for configuring, performing, and reporting neighbor cell measurements in a wireless communication system. A base station of a serving cell may provide configuration information relevant to performing layer 1 (L1) measurements based on reference signals of one or more neighbor cells. A UE may perform L1 inter-frequency measurements of the neighbor cell(s) based on the configuration. The UE may report the measurements.

Abstract: Layer 2 handling during a cell change procedure includes decoding an RRC reconfiguration message received from a first cell. The RRC reconfiguration message includes a Layer 1 (L1) configuration corresponding to a second cell. The first cell and the second cell share an SDAP entity, a PDCP entity, an RLC entity, and a MAC entity. The first cell and the second cell have a separate L1 entity. In response to decoding the RRC reconfiguration message, the L1 configuration corresponding to the second cell is stored. A cell change message received from the first cell is decoded. The cell change message indicates that a cell change from the first cell to the second cell is to be performed. The stored L1 configuration corresponding to the second cell is applied for data transmission and reception associated with the second cell. A cell change to the second cell is initiated.

Abstract: The present application relates to devices and components including apparatus, systems, and methods to perform a switch of a TCI state from a serving cell to a neighbor cell. A UE determines whether the state of the neighbor cell is known or unknown and whether the neighbor cell's TCI state is known or unknown. The total delay time to perform the TCI state switch can impacted by this the known/unknown statuses. Other factors can also contribute to the total delay time. The UE may also signal its capability to monitor the TCI state of the neighbor cell and its capability to switch to such a TCI state.
