Abstract: Some aspects of this disclosure relate to apparatuses and methods for apparatuses and methods for providing continuous communication services for a user equipment (UE) connected to a non-terrestrial network (NTN) and/or one or more satellites providing cellular coverage. The UE may receive a list of neighbor cells from a serving cell, which may be a satellite moving relative to the Earth and having a moving coverage area. After receiving the list of neighbor cells, the UE may sort the list to prioritize the neighbor cells. This sorting may be based on a calculated distance between the UE and each of the neighbor cells. The UE may sequentially perform a synchronization and measurement process with each of the neighbor cells or a subset of the neighbor cells based on the prioritization order. The UE may then establish communications with a target cell from the prioritized list to maintain continuity.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure enable a user equipment (UE) to performing inter-Radio Access Technology (RAT) measurements. The UE determines whether one or more inter-RAT measurement object (MO) is configured with or without a measurement gap (MG). When the one or more inter-RAT MO is on an NR serving component carrier (CC) with the MG, the UE performs an inter-RAT measurement on the NR serving CC based on whether the MG is fully overlapped or partially overlapped with synchronization signal blocks (SSBs) of a target MO of the one or more inter-RAT MO. When the one or more inter-RAT MO is on the NR serving CC without the MG, the UE performs the inter-RAT measurement on the NR serving CC based on whether a target SSB of the target MO is within or outside an active bandwidth part (BWP) of the NR serving CC.

Abstract: Methods and systems to activate beams for beam switching based on measurements of a downlink reference signal that is QCL Type-D with a downlink pathloss reference signal are disclosed. A UE may measure and report to a base station the RSRP of the reference signal that is QCL Type-D with a target downlink pathloss reference signal. Based on the reported RSRP measurements, the base station may activate the target pathloss reference signal to command the UE to update the pathloss measurements of the target pathloss reference signal for uplink power control of a beam corresponding to the target pathloss reference signal. The UE may determine whether the target pathloss reference signal is considered known for uplink power control based on the timing relationship among the reception of the reference signal from the base station, the transmission of the RSRP measurement of the reference signal, and reception of the activation command.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to devices, methods, apparatuses and computer readable storage media for beam failure management, and in particular for beam management for high-speed train (HST) in Frequency Range 2 (FR2). According to embodiments of the present disclosure, a terminal device receives from a network device a configuration concerning a high-speed mode of the terminal device, the terminal device determines a reduced evaluation period for beam management in the high-speed mode based on the configuration. The reduced evaluation period determined by the terminal device is shorter than an evaluation period in a non-high-speed mode. Then, the terminal device performs the beam management using the reduced evaluation period.

Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and systems are disclosed for compensating for cell identification delays that are beyond the control of the UE, in connection with standards-specified cell identification timing limits. In frequency bands including both beam sweeping and listen-before-talk (LBT) requirements, a cell identification procedure may be significantly delayed due to LBT failure at the base station and/or beam misalignment between the base station and the UE. Therefore, UE cell identification timing constraints may be dynamically adjusted to compensate for such delays. For example, the time window allowed for cell identification of a neighbor cell may be dynamically increased in response to determining that one or more SSBs were not available at the UE during an SMTC occasion. In some scenarios, if the timing increase exceeds a predetermined threshold, the UE may restart the cell identification procedure, e.g., on the same frequency layer or on a different frequency layer.

Abstract: Techniques discussed herein may better ensure efficient fine time tracking during a second cell (SCell) activation procedure by using a tracking reference signal (TRS) that is User Equipment (UE) specific. A primary cell (PCell) may provide a UE with a TRS configuration that includes a UE-specific reference signal (RS) with periodicity or aperiodicity. In response to receiving a SCell activation command from the PCell, the UE may perform cell activation with fine time tracking in accordance with the UE-specific RS. As the delay time for the UE-specific RS may be less than the delay time for a system synchronization block (SSB) from the SCell, use of the UE-specific RS may expedite the cell activation procedure.
