Abstract: To support layer 1 (L1) and layer 2 (L2) centric inter-cell mobility and inter-cell multi-TRP operation, a user equipment (UE) may need to measurement the downlink reference signals from neighbor cells. To obtain these measurements, a UE may perform layer 3 (L3) measurements for one or more neighboring cells, and provide an L3 measurement report to a network node. Candidate measurement neighboring cells for L1 measurements may be identified based on the L3 measurements.

Abstract: The present application relates to devices and components including apparatus, systems, and methods to provide SCell activation. In one example, a UE may support carrier aggregation in a high speed mode, such FR1 CA in HST. Serving cells can be particularly configured for the carrier aggregation based on the UE's capability to support carrier aggregation in the high speed mode. Additionally or alternatively, an SCell activation procedure can be performed based on this capability.

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: Techniques, described herein, include solutions for enabling a base station and user equipment (UE) to use low beam (e.g., frequency range 1 (FR1)) communications to determine a line-of-sight (LOS) status of a beam between the base station and the UE, and use the LOS status to establish or maintain a link or channel using a high beam (e.g., frequency range 2 (FR2)).

Abstract: When a user equipment (UE) encounters a radio link failure condition, the UE may transmit a radio link failure report to a network. The report may include information defining the radio link monitoring (RLM) resources of a current RLM configuration. The information may take the form of a resource bitmap or a list of resource identifiers/indices. The network may use the information (and radio resource management measurements) to determine whether the radio link failure occurred due to misconfiguration of RLM resources for the UE. In cases where the network does not provide RLM configuration, the UE may omit the bitmap (or list), or populate the bitmap with all zeros, or populate the bitmap (or list) according to a currently active Transmission Configuration Indication (TCI) state, which is indicated by downlink control information (DCI).
