Cell activation triggered layer 3 reporting

Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure disclose devices, methods and apparatuses for cell activation triggered layer 3 (L3) reporting. In an aspect, a terminal device receives a cell activation command to activate a plurality of cells in a frequency band. Based on status of the plurality of cells and association information between cells comprising at least the plurality of cells to be activated in the frequency band, the terminal device determines whether L3 reporting is to be triggered. Based on determining that the L3 reporting is to be triggered, the terminal device transmits an L3 report. By considering the cell status e.g. known/unknown, and the association information among the cells on the same band, the terminal device may determine if L3 reporting is to be triggered for cells on different frequency bands, for example, on frequency range 1(FR1) and frequency range 2(FR2), respectively, and hence achieves a faster cell activation.
