Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive, from a network entity and via a system information block (SIB), information that indicates frequencies associated with a terrestrial network (TN) cell. The information may include one or more of a priority of frequency, frequency-specific offset, or cell-specific offset. The UE may perform, during an idle mode of the UE, measurements of the frequencies associated with the TN cell based at least in part on a location of the UE being within the TN cell. Numerous other aspects are described.

Performing measurements of frequencies associated with terrestrial network cells

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described, in which a communication device (e.g., a user equipment (UE), a network entity) may perform carrier aggregation, and cross-carrier scheduling provides that a first carrier may provide scheduling information for one or more other carriers, in which the one or more other carriers may have different discontinuous reception (DRX) configurations than the first carrier. One or more DRX-related timers of different DRX groups may be started or restarted based on a control information reception on the first carrier, or on a different carrier of a different DRX group. Additionally, or alternatively, control information transmissions on the first carrier may be provided based on one or more DRX-related timers that are associated with the first carrier, or that are associated with a carrier of another DRX group than the DRX group of the first carrier, or any combinations thereof.

Cross-carrier scheduling techniques for multiple discontinuous reception groups

This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media for a user equipment (UE), which may include a reduced capability (RedCap) UE, and a supporting cell. The UE may receive a synchronization signal block (SSB). The UE may receive a configuration of an active downlink bandwidth part (BWP) that is not configured with a SSB. The UE may tune, from the active downlink BWP to a different frequency for a layer 1 (L1) measurement gap defined by a L1 measurement gap configuration. The UE may perform a L1 measurement of the SSB on the different frequency during the L1 measurement gap. The UE may be a RedCap UE, the active BWP may be for RedCap UEs, and the SSB may define an initial BWP for the RedCap UEs and non-RedCap UEs, and the different frequency may be the initial BWP.

Measurement gaps for L1 measurements

A method of wireless communication at a UE is disclosed herein. The method includes transmitting, at a first time instance, an indication of a first measurement on at least one DL-RS associated with a first cell, where the first cell is included in a L1 mobility configured cell set or a L2 mobility configured cell set. The method includes receiving, at a second time instance after the first time instance, an estimated TA associated with the first cell. The method includes performing a second measurement on the at least one DL-RS. The method includes accepting or rejecting the estimated TA for communication with the first cell based on at least one of the first measurement or the second measurement.

Timing advance validation techniques for L1/L2 inter-cell mobility

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive a group discontinuous reception (DRX) configuration. The UE may receive, based on the group DRX configuration, a notification communication indicative of group handover information associated with a group of UEs that includes the UE. The UE may perform, based on the group handover information, a group handover operation between a source cell and a target cell. Numerous other aspects are described.

Group handover configurations

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive, from a first serving cell via Layer 3 control signaling, a configuration indicating a plurality of transmission reception points (TRPs) and one or more parameters enabling activation or deactivation of TRPs in the plurality of TRPs. The UE may receive, from the first serving cell via Layer 2 control signaling, explicit multi-TRP information that indicates an activation of a second serving cell and a TRP associated with the second serving cell, wherein the explicit multi-TRP information indicates that the second serving cell is to be activated as a primary cell and the TRP is to be activated as a primary TRP. The UE may communicate with the primary cell and the primary TRP. Numerous other aspects are described.

Signaling for multiple transmission reception point activation and deactivation

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive a synchronization signal block (SSB) offset indication that indicates a maximum timing offset between an SSB index of a first cell and an SSB index of a second cell. The UE may perform SSB index detection based at least in part on the SSB offset indication. Numerous other aspects are described.

Synchronization signal block index detection

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may be configured to receive, via a first serving cell, a message including an indication to activate a second serving cell different from the first serving cell. The UE may receive, via the first serving cell, a control message indicating a first resource for transmitting a response message responsive to the message, and triggering a reference signal associated with time and frequency tracking for the second serving cell. The UE may transmit, via the first serving cell and within the first resource indicated via the control message, the response message acknowledging the message. The UE may then monitor a second resource of the second serving cell for the reference signal based on the control message.

In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus at a user equipment (UE) in a non-terrestrial network (NTN) are provided. The UE may be configured to receive one or more timing advance (TA) commands from an NTN. In response to a transmission timing error between a transmission TA of the UE and a reference timing exceeding a threshold, the UE may be configured to transmit an uplink transmission with a timing change having a total timing adjustment, other than a propagation delay adjustment due to an NTN node position update and a network-controlled common TA value, that satisfies one or more threshold requirements.

Gradual timing adjustment for communication in NTN

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive a message from a first non-terrestrial network cell indicating cell synchronization information for a second non-terrestrial network cell. In some examples, the cell synchronization information may indicate whether the first non-terrestrial network cell and the second non-terrestrial network cell are synchronized at a reference point. Additionally, or alternatively, the cell synchronization information may indicate a timing offset value between a first uplink time synchronization reference point of the first non-terrestrial network cell and a second uplink time synchronization reference point of the second non-terrestrial network cell. The UE may calculate a timing associated with signaling from the second non-terrestrial network cell based at least in part on the cell synchronization information. The UE may receive one or more signals from the second non-terrestrial network cell based at least in part on the calculated timing.
