An apparatus may be configured to: receive two or more filtering configurations, wherein a first configuration is associated with at least one first target cell associated with a first distributed unit, wherein a second configuration is associated with at least one second target cell associated with at least one second distributed unit, wherein the first distributed unit is different from the at least one second distributed unit; select a configuration of the two or more configurations for at least one target cell based, at least partially, on a determination of whether a serving cell and the at least one target cell are controlled with a same distributed unit, wherein the serving cell is controlled with the first distributed unit; and perform filtering of a plurality of layer one measurements associated with the at least one target cell using the selected configuration.

Filtering of layer 1 beam measurements for L1/2 inter-cell mobility

An apparatus including at least one processor; and at least one non-transitory memory storing instructions that, when executed with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to perform: receiving a combined information, where the combined information includes first information regarding inter-cell beam management and second information regarding lower layer mobility; using the second information to initiate a handover of the apparatus from a first cell to a second cell; and using the first information to provide communication of the apparatus with another cell at least partially during the handover to the second cell, where the another cell includes the first cell or a third cell.

Triggering of low layer mobility through inter cell beam management procedure

In one aspect of the present disclosure, a user equipment has a processor and a memory including computer program code, where the memory and the computer program code are configured, with the processor, to cause the user equipment to receive from a network node at least one beam-specific mobility parameter associated with at least one respective candidate beam in a serving cell; to switch in the serving cell to a new beam among the at least one candidate beam; and to select a beam-specific mobility parameter associated with the new beam. In another aspect of the present disclosure, a network node has a processor and a memory including computer program code, where the memory and the computer program code are configured, with the processor, to cause the network node to preconfigure at least one beam-specific mobility parameter associated with at least one respective candidate beam in a serving cell; and to send the at least one beam-specific mobility parameter to a user equipment.

Method for utilizing beam-specific cell-individual offsets in a user equipment

A method may include detecting, by the user device, a cell identity of a neighbor cell, determining, by the user device, whether either a first measurement by the user device of a signal from the neighbor cell after the detecting or a measurement by the user device of a signal from the neighbor cell within a threshold period of time after the detecting, at least fulfills an entry condition of a measurement reporting event for the neighbor cell, transmitting, by the user device, a measurement report based on the second time-to-trigger value if either the first measurement of a signal from the neighbor cell after the detecting or a measurement of a signal from the neighbor cell within a threshold period of time after the detecting fulfills the entry condition of the measurement reporting event, otherwise, transmitting, by the user device, a measurement report based on the first time-to-trigger value.

Variable time-to-trigger value for transmission of measurement report for wireless networks

An apparatus including: at least one processor; and at least one non-transitory memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to: associate communication beams into at least two different groups, where at least one of the groups has at least two of the communication beams; based upon beam-group specific key performance indicators, where the beam-group specific key performance indicators have been based upon the association of the communication beams into the at least two different groups, use the beam-group specific key performance indicators to determine at least one beam-group specific mobility parameter for at least one of the groups of communication beams; and transmit the at least one beam-group specific mobility parameters to a base station.
