  • Publication number: 20260270132
    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) includes a transceiver and a processor. The processor is configured to receive, in a time division duplex (TDD) band, a configuration for a serving cell signal that includes a plurality of symbols. The plurality of symbols corresponds to symbols of at least one synchronization signal block (SSB) for SSB-based radio resource management (RRM) measurement for a serving cell or a neighbor cell, and at least one symbol for uplink (UL) transmission. The processor is configured to, in response to determining that the relative position of the at least one symbol for the UL transmission is after a last symbol for the SSB-based RRM measurement in an SSB-based RRM measurement timing configuration (SMTC) window, restrict the UL transmission for a number of symbols that are after the last symbol of the symbols for the SSB-based RRM measurement in the SMTC window.

  • Publication number: 20260270898
    Abstract: Systems and methods for radio resource management (RRM) measurement periodicity enhancements are disclosed herein. In some cases, a user equipment (UE) receives, from a network: a synchronization signal block (SSB)-based measurement timing configuration (SMTC) that indicates an SMTC periodicity for a target serving cell. The UE also receives an SSB periodicity of SSBs on the target serving cell. Then, the UE uses the SMTC periodicity and the SSB periodicity to determine a detection and measurement periodicity for the target serving cell, and proceeds to perform detection of the target serving cell and measurement of the target serving cell according to the detection and measurement periodicity. In some such cases, the UE uses the SSB periodicity value as the detection and measurement periodicity for the target serving cell. Cases where only one (or neither) of the SMTC periodicity and/or the SSB periodicity are provided to the UE are also explained.

  • Publication number: 20260269922
    Abstract: Systems and methods for reducing measurement delay for group-based beam reporting (GBBR) are disclosed herein. A user equipment (UE) having first and a second antenna panels receives, from a network, a pair of channel measurement resource (CMR) sets identifying reference signals transmitted across a pair of transmission reception points (TRPs) and that are together transmitted periodically. The UE measures the reference signals using narrow beams within a plurality of broader beams that each correspond to one of the reference signals and that is on one of the antenna panels and selects first and second narrow beams (one on each antenna panel) to use for simultaneous downlink (DL) reception. The UE sends a beam report indicating one reference signal from each CMR set that is associated with one of the two selected narrow beams. Herein, particular methods for efficiently making the measurements across the two antenna panels are disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20260270913
    Abstract: Systems and methods for regulating uplink (UL) transmission timing differences (TTDs) at a user equipment (UE) are discussed herein. A UE may determine that a first uplink (UL) TTD between a first UL transmission timing for a first timing advance group (TAG) and a second UL transmission timing for a second TAG is above a threshold, may start a first TTD reconfiguration timer at the UE in response, and may send, to a network, a message indicating that the UE has started the first TTD reconfiguration timer. The network may then provide a configuration to the UE that lowers or renders inapplicable the UL TTD that is of concern. If no new network configuration is provided to the UE prior to expiration of the TTD reconfiguration timer, the UE may drop UL transmission use toward one of the TAGs. Considerations for thresholds for triggering such TTD reconfiguration timers are discussed.

  • Publication number: 20260247188
    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.

  • Publication number: 20260238337
    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.

  • Publication number: 20260239241
    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.
