Abstract
Aspects are described for a user equipment (UE) comprising a transceiver configured to enable wireless communication with a serving cell and a target cell and a processor communicatively coupled to the transceiver. The processor is configured to receive a handover command from the serving cell. The handover command comprises an epoch index and ephemeris information of the target cell. The processor is further configured to determine an epoch time of the target cell based on the epoch index and perform time synchronization with the target cell using the epoch time and the ephemeris information.
