A UE may perform a location-based conditional handover (CHO) based on a region information and size parameter associated with a serving cell of a non-terrestrial network (NTN). In time-based CHO, the UE may perform CHO in response to expiration of a network-configured wait time. Alternatively, the UE may perform CHO by randomly selecting a wait time from a network configured time range. The selection may be randomized using a network provided seed or using a cell Radio Network Temporary Identifier (RNTI) value. In elevation-based CHO, the UE may perform CHO in response to the elevation angle of a satellite being less than a network configured threshold. When the UE is configured with multiple cells of the NTN, and the CHO criteria for two or more of the cells are satisfied, the UE may select a target cell for CHO based on network indicated prioritization of the cells.

The present application relates to devices and components including apparatus, systems, and methods to provide positional information for one or more NTN devices to a UE to be utilized for one or more UE operations.

Aspects described herein relate to receiving, from a serving cell, a configuration for performing conditional handover to one or more target cells, establishing, based on detecting a condition from the configuration, a connection with a target cell for performing handover to the target cell, and transmitting, based on establishing the connection with the target cell and based on determining that the conditional handover is of a type where a source connection with the source cell remains, a notification to the serving cell.

Systems and methods are disclosed for de-prioritizing an LTE anchor cell based on NR cell measurements. A UE may register on a first cell of a first Radio Access Technology (RAT), process a configuration message from a network prioritizing an anchor band of the first RAT, perform a first cell reselection from the first cell to a second cell of the first RAT that is in the anchor band, and perform cell measurements on one or more cells of a second RAT. In response to determining that none of the cell measurements for the one or more cells of the second RAT exceeds a threshold, the UE de-prioritizes the second cell in ranked cell prioritization data and performs a second cell reselection from the second cell of the first RAT to another cell of the first RAT based on the ranked cell prioritization data.

A method includes: when performing information transmission with a first access point AP on a first frequency band, determining, whether the terminal equipment needs to establish a connection with a second AP, which is a second frequency band; determining, by the terminal equipment, whether the first AP and the second AP are corresponding to a same dual-band radio access device; sending, by the terminal equipment, a connection request to the second AP when maintaining a protocol layer connection with the first AP; and if establishing, by the terminal equipment, the connection with the second AP when the second AP send feedback.

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to wireless communications, and more particularly, to cell recovery techniques. One example method generally includes receiving, at a user-equipment (UE), at least one pilot signal via a secondary cell, receive, via a primary cell, a first message triggering reporting of at least one preferred beam for communication via the secondary cell, determining the preferred beam based on the at least one pilot signal, transmitting, via the primary cell, a report indicating the at least one preferred beam, and communicating data via the secondary cell and via the preferred beam.

Apparatuses, methods, and systems are disclosed for discarding data corresponding to a conditional handover. One apparatus includes a transmitter that transmits information corresponding to a conditional handover to multiple candidate cells. The information indicates to one or more candidate cells of the multiple candidate cells a time to discard data or to discard the data.

The present disclosure relates to a system and method for providing seamless service to a dual SIM enabled user equipment. The seamless service is provided by smoothening the broadcast services which is based on the dual SIM mobile devices with a single radio frequency chain that will require tune-away from one a one type of radio service to another type of radio service when checking for possible incoming calls. Due to the tune away user experience service lag in terms of lag in the video playback which is estimated by the present system and method to perform an appropriate smoothing operation for a disruption free user experience in ailing service.
