Abstract
Apparatus and method are provided for a user equipment (UE) to perform measurement operations for a handover procedure including target NR Primary Secondary Cell (PSCell) change or addition. The measurements of a target PSCell are performed in accordance with a synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel (SS/PBCH) block measurement time configuration (SMTC) included in a measurement object received from a base station (BS). A source primary cell (PCell) is used for reference timing of the SMTC if the measurement object is configured by the source PCell on same frequency and subcarrier spacing of the target PSCell. A source PSCell is used for reference timing of the SMTC if the measurement object is configured by the source PSCell on same frequency and subcarrier spacing of the target PSCell.
