Abstract

A wireless device may perform a handover from one cell to another. The wireless device may perform channel state information measurement and/or reporting for one or more candidate cells. Reference signal configuration information indicating synchronization signal blocks associated with candidate cells, for example, for a reference signal received power measurement, may be received by the wireless device. A reference signal received power report may be transmitted by the wireless device, and based on the reference signal received power measurement, the wireless device may switch to a candidate cell as the primary cell.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A method comprising:
receiving, by a wireless device, one or more radio resource control (RRC) messages, associated with Layer 1 or Layer 2 triggered mobility (LTM), comprising:
a plurality of serving cell configurations, wherein each serving cell configuration of the plurality of serving cell configurations is associated with a corresponding candidate cell of a plurality of candidate cells; and
a reference signal (RS) configuration indicating synchronization signal blocks (SSBs), associated with the plurality of candidate cells, for layer 1 reference signal received power (L1-RSRP) measurement;
transmitting, based on L1-RSRP measurement of at least one SSB indicated in the RS configuration and for the LTM, an L1-RSRP report associated with a candidate cell corresponding to the at least one SSB; and switching, based on the L1-RSRP measurement, to the candidate cell as a primary cell.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the RS configuration comprises, for each SSB of the SSBs, an identifier of one of the candidate cells.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the switching comprises switching to the candidate cell based on a command indicating primary cell switching and comprising at least one of:
downlink control information (DCI); or a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE).

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the L1-RSRP report comprises at least one of:
an L1-RSRP value; an indication of an SSB, of the SSBs, that is associated with the candidate cell; or an indication of the candidate cell, wherein the L1-RSRP measurement comprises L1-RSRP measurement of the SSB.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the SSBs comprise at least one of:
a first SSB associated with a first physical cell identifier (PCI) index indicating a serving cell; and a second SSB associated with a second PCI index, different from the first PCI index, indicating the candidate cell.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the RS configuration indicates, for each SSB of the SSBs, at least one of:
frequency resources; a periodicity in a time domain; or a transmission power.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmitting the L1-RSRP report comprises transmitting an aperiodic CSI report.

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmitting the L1-RSRP report comprises transmitting a semi-persistent CSI report via a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH) or a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH).

9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the RS configuration indicating the SSBs is separate from the serving cell configurations corresponding to the candidate cells.

10 . The method of claim 1 , wherein a serving cell configuration of the serving cell configurations corresponds to the candidate cell and indicates, for the L1-RSRP report associated with the candidate cell, one or more of the SSBs of the RS configuration.

11 . A method comprising:
receiving, by a wireless device, one or more radio resource control (RRC) messages comprising a reference signal (RS) configuration indicating:
a first synchronization signal block (SSB), associated with a first candidate cell of a plurality of candidate cells, for layer 1 reference signal received power (L1-RSRP) measurement of the first candidate cell;
a second SSB, associated with a second candidate cell of the plurality of candidate cells, for L1-RSRP measurement of the second candidate cell;
transmitting, based on L1-RSRP measurement of the first SSB and based on L1-RSRP measurement of the second SSB, an L1-RSRP report associated with Layer 1 or Layer 2 triggered mobility (LTM) and; and switching, based on the LTM, a primary cell from a serving cell to the first candidate cell or the second candidate cell.

12 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the one or more RRC messages further comprise, separate from the RS configuration, serving cell configurations corresponding to candidate cells.

13 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the RS configuration comprises, for each SSB of the SSBs, an identifier of one of the candidate cells.

14 . The method of claim 11 , wherein:
the first SSB is associated with a first physical cell identifier (PCI) index indicating the first candidate cell; and the second SSB is associated with a second PCI index, different from the first PCI index, indicating the second candidate cell.

15 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the RS configuration indicates, for each SSB of the SSBs, at least one of:
frequency resources; a periodicity in a time domain; or a transmission power.

16 . A method comprising:
receiving, by a wireless device, one or more radio resource control (RRC) messages, associated with Layer 1 or Layer 2 triggered mobility (LTM) comprising a plurality of serving cell configurations, where each serving cell configuration of the plurality of serving cell configurations is associated with a corresponding candidate cell of a plurality of candidate cells; receiving, separate from the serving cell configurations and for the LTM, a reference signal (RS) configuration indicating synchronization signal blocks (SSBs), associated with the plurality of candidate cells, for Layer 1 reference signal received power (L1-RSRP) measurements; transmitting, based on L1-RSRP measurement of at least one SSB indicated in the RS configuration and for the LTM, an L1-RSRP report associated with a candidate cell corresponding to the at least one SSB; and switching, based on the L1-RSRP measurement, a primary cell from a serving cell to the candidate cell.

17 . The method of claim 16 , wherein the RS configuration comprises, for each SSB of the SSBs, an identifier of one of the candidate cells.

18 . The method of claim 16 , wherein the L1-RSRP report comprises at least one of:
an L1-RSRP value; an indication of an SSB, of the SSBs, that is associated with the candidate cell; and an indication of the candidate cell, wherein the L1-RSRP measurement comprises L1-RSRP measurement of the SSB.

19 . The method of claim 16 , wherein an SSB, of the SSBs, is associated with a physical cell identifier (PCI) index indicating the candidate cell.

20 . The method of claim 16 , further comprising receiving an indication of switching the primary cell to the candidate cell, wherein the candidate cell is not activated prior to the receiving the indication.
