Abstract
Techniques discussed herein can facilitate back-off mechanisms for inter-cell mobility. One example aspect is a baseband processor configured to: receive a unified transmission configuration indicator (TCI) from a first serving cell where the unified TCI is associated with a second serving cell; in response to receiving the unified TCI, transmit an ACK message to the first serving cell; communicate with the second serving cell; configure a time window subsequent to transmission of the ACK message; and perform a fallback operation when a dedicated signaling from the second serving cell is not received within the time window.
