Technologies for handover procedures

Methods and systems are disclosed for a UE to manage and measure intra-cell cross link interference (CLI) when served by a base station operating in full-duplex FDD. The signaling may indicate to a victim UE resources to measure to determine the level of CLI from aggressor UEs. The resources used for the CLI measurement may be resources not scheduled by the base station for use by the victim UE for downlink reception, but are scheduled for use by the aggressor UEs for transmitting uplink traffic or for transmitting reference signals used to characterize the uplink channel. The victim UE may report the CLI measurements to the base station for the base station to adjust scheduling of downlink resources to the victim UE. In one aspect, the signaling from the base station may indicate to the victim UE the locations of scheduled downlink symbols that may potentially be impacted by CLI.

To extend a physical broadcast channel (PBCH) in wireless communications, an extended physical broadcast channel (EPBCH) transmission is generated with one or more legacy PBCH blocks and one or more EPBCH blocks within an extension window. A size of the extension window is determined based at least in part on a PBCH repetition number and a number of the legacy PBCH blocks relative to a number of the EPBCH blocks. The EPBCH transmission is transmitted by a base station (BS) to one or more user equipment (UE).

A method determines a number of physical sidelink shared channel (PSSCH) symbols and a number of PSSCH demodulation reference signal (DMRS) symbols that will occur in a timeslot that is used for scheduling. PSSCH DMRS locations in the timeslot are derived based on applying the PSSCH DMRS symbols and the PSSCH DMRS symbols to a look-up table. A number of PSSCH DMRS resource elements (REs) is calculated based on the PSSCH DMRS locations and a scheduled number of PSSCH sub-channels. This number of PSSCH DMRS REs is used to determine a transport block size (TBS) included in transmissions over a sidelink channel.

The UE performs the handover procedure according to the received message, and further perform an addition procedure for the secondary base station in parallel with the handover procedure. A start time of the addition procedure can be before an end time of the handover procedure.
