  • Publication number: 20250254636
    Abstract: Techniques discussed herein can facilitate neighbor cell measurements with non-cell-defined synchronization signal blocks (NCD-SSB). One example aspect is a baseband processor of a user equipment (UE), including one or more processors configured to receive an indication of a NCD-SSB and a cell-defined (CD)-SSB (CD-SSB) configuration. The one or more processors further perform a measurement procedure to obtain a cell measurement value associated with a SSB wherein the SSB is one of the NCD-SSB or the CD-SSB. Subsequently, the one or more processors compare the cell measurement value with a threshold value; and perform measurement of a neighbor cell when the cell measurement value does not satisfy the threshold value.

  • Patent number: 12369060
    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and systems are disclosed for configuring measurement timings in connection with UEs that are capable of signaling whether a measurement gap (MG) is needed to measure a target frequency carrier. For example, a measurement period may be determined for the target frequency carrier based on the UE indicating that it supports per-frequency range (FR) MGs, and determining that the FR of the target frequency carrier does not include any current serving cell(s). If the UE indicates that no MG is needed to measure the target frequency carrier, then the measurement period may be based on an SMTC, and may be further based on a predefined effective measurement gap repetition period (MGRP). If the UE indicates that a MG is needed, then the measurement period may be based on the SMTC, and may be further based on the effective MGRP or a per-UE MGRP.

  • Publication number: 20250220614
    Abstract: This application relates to wireless communications, including methods and apparatus to manage uplink (UL) transmit switching with multiple timing advance groups (TAGs) for wireless devices. A wireless device is configured to use multiple carriers selected from a set of available carriers that can be associated with different TAGs. When a second set of carriers, used after switching from a first set of carriers, includes carriers that belong to different TAGs, the wireless device determines whether to transmit on one or more first uplink transmission occasions for each of the carriers in the second set of carriers based on whether a first UL transmission occasion for at least one carrier overlaps a switching gap time period. The wireless device can disallow transmission on first UL transmission occasions of one or more carriers to accommodate the overlap.
