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.

A user equipment (UE) comprises at least one antenna, at least one radio coupled to the at least one antenna, and a processor coupled to the at least one radio. The processor is configured to receive a Time advance (TA) indicator together with a handover command from a source base station in a source coverage, wherein the TA indicator comprises information for determining a TA used for an uplink transmission with a target base station in a target coverage, the handover command is a Layer 1 handover command or a Layer 2 handover command, and the source coverage and the target coverage are identified by different Physical Cell identifiers; and in response to the handover command, determine the TA used for the uplink transmission with the target base station based on the information.

Abstract: Provided is a method for a user equipment (UE), comprising performing, based on acquired information, in at least one of an idle mode and an inactive mode, at least one of an intra-frequency neighbor cell measurement and an inter-frequency neighbor cell measurement. The acquired information comprises at least one of a group of a periodicity of synchronization signal and physical broadcast channel block (SSB)-based measurement timing configuration (SMTC) and a periodicity of SMTC2-long periodicity (SMTC2-LP) and a physical cell identifier (PCI) list of SMTC2-LP.

Abstract: This disclosure provides details of sequence-based WUS design and signaling, also DCI-based WUS design which also serves as scheduling DCI. For sequence-based WUS there are two variants. A first is based on CSI-RS, that is relatively wide band so the sequence occupies wider band compared to SSB transmission. The second is more akin to the Secondary Synchronization Signal (SSS) type of sequence in that it occupies a narrower band over the entire bandwidth.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) is configured to establish a network connection including a new radio (NR)-NR dual connectivity band combination wherein a primary cell (PCell) of a primary cell group (PCG) and a primary secondary cell (PSCell) of a secondary cell group (SCG) both operate on frequency range 1 (FR1) and wherein at least one cell of either the PCG or the SCG operates on frequency range 2 (FR2). The UE receives a measurement gap timing advance parameter, selects one subframe from multiple serving cell subframes and determines a starting point for a configured per-frequency range (FR) measurement gap based on the measurement gap timing advance parameter and the selected subframe.

Abstract: The present application relates to devices and components including apparatus, systems, and methods to provide DRX groups for licensed and unlicensed bands. For example, a first DRX group can be used in association with an NR licensed band of FR1, a second DRX group can be used in association with NR-U of FR1, and a third DRX group can be used in association with FR2. In this way, power savings of DRX groups can be granular to the level of licensed and unlicensed bands.

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.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to techniques for configuring listen before talk and short control signaling in unlicensed spectrum in a wireless communication system. A wireless device may establish a wireless link with a cellular base station on a cell in unlicensed spectrum. The wireless device may receive listen-before-talk configuration information, where the listen-before-talk configuration information indicates whether listen-before-talk is configured for the wireless link. The wireless device may receive short control signaling configuration information, where the short control signaling configuration information indicates whether short control signaling is enabled for one or more types of control signaling. The wireless device may perform short control signaling with the cellular base station on the wireless link when short control signaling is enabled. The short control signaling performed between the cellular base station and the wireless device may include either or both of uplink transmissions or downlink transmissions.
