Abstract: An electronic device may receive, from a radio node, a measurement configuration associated with a wireless communication system. In response, the electronic device may perform measurements using narrow beam patterns based at least in part on a network configuration, where the narrow beam patterns are narrower than a wide beam pattern of the electronic device. Furthermore, performing the measurements using the narrow beams pattern may include performing a beam-pattern search up to the network configuration. Then, the electronic device may perform an SCell activation procedure of an SCell with the radio node. Note that the SCell activation procedure may include reporting, to the radio node, CSI of a narrow beam pattern of the SCell that is to be activated, where the narrow beam pattern is narrower than the wide beam pattern of the electronic device, and the narrow beam pattern is based at least in part on the measurements.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer-readable media are provided for facilitating handoff of a User Equipment, engaged in beamforming, by communicating beam information between a first access point (AP) to a second AP. The first AP associated with a serving cell of the UE includes processor circuitry and interface circuitry. The processor circuitry is configured to determine that the UE device is expected to associate with the second AP and identify a synchronization signal block (SSB) index associated with the first AP. The processor circuitry is further configured to generate a message that includes the SSB index to enable the second AP to pre-configure downlink and uplink resources for the UE before the UE associates with the second AP. The interface circuitry is coupled to the processor circuitry and configured to communicate the message to the second AP.

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.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) may support concurrent synchronization signal block (SSB) inter-frequency measurement without a measurement gap (MG). The UE may also, or alternatively, support concurrent SSB inter-frequency measurement in intra-band scenarios (e.g., where a target inter-frequency cell and serving cell are on the same band) and/or inter-band scenarios (e.g., where a target inter-frequency cell and serving cell are on the same band). The UE may report concurrent SSB based inter-frequency measurement as a NEEDFORGAP information element (IE), which may include one or more of a variety of parameters regarding UE measurement capabilities. Scheduling restrictions (e.g., restrictions to downlink and uplink communications) are also enabled based on UE measurement capabilities, including scheduling restriction for frequency range 1 (FR1), frequency range 2 (FR2), and cross frequency range scenarios.
