Abstract
Methods and apparatuses for methods and apparatuses for facilitating serving cell changes based on signaling related to beam management procedures in a wireless communications network. A user equipment (UE) comprises a transceiver and a processor operably coupled to the transceiver. The transceiver is configured to receive a transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state identifier (ID) associated with a target serving cell, receive a cell switch command, and transmit, in response to reception of the cell switch command, a channel conveying a positive hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK). The processor is configured to perform, based on the cell switch command, a cell switch at a time, wherein the time corresponds to a slot that starts after a cell switch application time from a last symbol of the channel conveying the positive HARQ-ACK.
