    Abstract: Some aspects of this disclosure relate to apparatuses and methods for implementing techniques for generating a report result based on a set of measurements performed at measurement gaps during a reporting period. The set of measurements are performed on a reference signal at a first bandwidth part (BWP) or a second BWP when BWP switching is performed. The first BWP has a first measurement gap configuration, the second BWP has a second measurement gap configuration. The measurement gaps of the reporting period are configured according to a third measurement gap configuration that is determined based on the first measurement gap configuration and the second measurement gap configuration.

    Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for hybrid measurement gap operation. A network-side device may provide a hybrid measurement gap (MG) configuration to a wireless device, the hybrid measurement gap (MG) configuration scheduling measurement operation of the wireless device in accordance with hybrid measurement gap patterns. The wireless device may receive the hybrid measurement gap (MG) configuration, and thus perform measurement operation based on the hybrid measurement gap patterns as scheduled.

    Abstract: This disclosure relates to techniques for a wireless device to perform gradual timing adjustments in a non-terrestrial wireless communication system. According to the techniques described herein, a wireless device may establish a non-terrestrial network based wireless link with a cellular base station. The wireless device may detect a trigger for changing a gradual timing adjustment rate from a first gradual timing adjustment rate to a second gradual timing adjustment rate. The wireless device may determine a time window for which to perform gradual timing adjustment at the second gradual timing adjustment rate. The wireless device may perform gradual timing adjustment at the second gradual timing adjustment rate for the time window.

    Abstract: This disclosure relates to techniques for performing inter radio access technology measurements without a measurement gap in a wireless communication system. A wireless device and a cellular base station may establish a wireless link according to a first radio access technology. The cellular base station may indicate to the wireless device to perform inter radio access technology measurements. The wireless device may determine that it is capable of performing the inter radio access technology measurements without a measurement gap. The wireless device may provide capability information to the cellular base station indicating that the wireless device is capable of performing the inter radio access technology measurements without a measurement gap. The wireless device may perform the inter radio access technology measurements without a measurement gap.

    Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods for enhancement in NTN mobility. A cellular base station may serve as a source base station of a handover procedure from the source base station to a target non-terrestrial network (NTN) base station. The cellular base station may configure a parameter associated with the target NTN base station in a handover command, the parameter being related to NTN mobility, and send the handover command to a wireless device for use by the wireless device during the handover procedure. The wireless device may receive the handover command from the cellular base station, and perform the handover procedure using the parameter associated with the target NTN base station.

    Abstract: Systems and methods disclosed herein describe the use of synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel block measurement time configuration (SMTC) 2 low power (SMTC2-LP) configuration(s). For cell measurements, a UE may determine that an SMTC2-LP configuration for one or more carriers of one or more target cells is known, determine a periodicity of SMTC occasions of the carrier(s) based on data found in the SMTC2-LP configuration(s), and cancel a cell measurement of an inter-frequency cell based at least in part on the periodicity of the SMTC occasion(s). For cell re-selection, a UE may determine that an SMTC2-LP configuration for a carrier being used at a target cell is known and that a physical cell identity (PCI) of the target cell is found in data of the SMTC2-LP configuration, determine a maximum paging interruption time using this periodicity, and perform a cell reselection to the target cell within this time.
