In the present specification, provided is an operation method for an access and mobility management function (AMF). The method comprises a step of receiving a session management (SM) context state notification message from a session management function (SMF). The SM context state notification message can be received on the basis of the failure of a protocol data unit (PDU) session establishment procedure. The PDU session establishment procedure can be triggered for a handover of a PDU session between non-3rd generation partnership project (non-3GPP) access and 3GPP access. The method includes a step of updating an access type related to the PDU session on the basis of the SM context state notification message.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment (UE) may receive, from a primary cell or a primary secondary cell (PSCell), configuration information for a conditional PSCell addition or change (CPAC), the configuration information indicating configurations for one or more candidate PSCells. The UE may detect a failure, associated with the conditional PSCell addition or change, associated with a first target PSCell from the one or more candidate PSCells. The UE may perform an action to recover the CPAC based at least in part on detecting the failure. Numerous other aspects are described.

An embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a handover method between network devices and a network device. The method includes: sending, by a network device, at least one handover command corresponding to a plurality of target network devices to a terminal device. The at least one handover command corresponding to the plurality of target network devices includes a first handover command, and the first handover command includes configuration information of a first target network device among the plurality of target network devices, so that the terminal device starts a first access timer corresponding to the first target network device in response to that the terminal device determines to establish a connection with the first target network device. The terminal device establishes a connection with the first target network device according to the first access timer.

Various aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication. In some aspects, a user equipment may detect an interruption trigger to initiate reporting of an interruption parameter associated with a dual active protocol stack handover procedure or a conditional handover procedure; and report the interruption parameter to a base station based at least in part on detecting the interruption trigger, wherein the interruption parameter indicates at least one of a duration of handover interruption or a starting time of handover interruption. Numerous other aspects are provided.

The present invention relates to a method of performing a handover procedure by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system. Especially, the method includes the steps of receiving a handover command containing information about at least one COUNT value from a first network; establishing a first Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) entity associated with a second network while maintaining a second PDCP entity associated with the first network; performing a random access procedure with the second network; and based on a handover failure with the second network being detected, transmitting a message for informing the handover failure to the first network with setting at least one state variable for the first PDCP entity according to the at least one COUNT value.

An interworking gateway for X2 interface communication is disclosed, comprising: an X2 internal interface for communicating with, and coupled to, a plurality of radio access networks (RANs) using a X2AP protocol; a database for associating each of the plurality of RANs with support status for an X2AP protocol version; an X2AP interworking broker for determining, based on communications with each of the plurality of RANs via the X2 internal interface, the support status for an X2AP protocol version for each of the plurality of RANs, the communications further comprising an observed response to a X2AP message of a first X2AP protocol version; and an X2 external interface for communicating with, and coupled to, a destination outside of the plurality of RANs.

This disclosure provides systems, methods, and devices for wireless communication that support enhanced beam management using extended reality (XR) perception data. In a first aspect, a method of wireless communication includes establishing a communication connection between a user equipment (UE) and a serving base station using a current serving beam selected by the UE from a plurality of available beams paired with a serving base station beam. The method further includes obtaining, perception information from one or more extended reality sensors associated with the UE and determining, in response to detection of UE movement, a transpositional representation of the movement using the perception information. The UE may then select a new serving beam in accordance with the transpositional representation. Other aspects and features are also claimed and described.

A terminal apparatus for communicating with a base station apparatus includes a receiver configured to receive, from the base station apparatus, an RRC reconfiguration message including a first configuration related to a radio bearer to which a Dual Active Protocol Stack (DAPS) is applied, and a processing unit configured to perform configuration in accordance with the RRC reconfiguration message. In a case that a first timer expires, that no radio link failure is detected in a source primary cell, and that the first configuration is performed on any radio bearer, the processing units releases a configuration for a target primary cell, resets MAC for the target primary cell, discards all data of a PDCP entity for a SRB of the source primary cell, discards all data of an RLC entity for the SRB of the source primary cell, resumes the SRB suspended in the source primary cell, and transmits, to the base station apparatus, an RRC message for notifying that a DAPS handover is unsuccessful.

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to methods, apparatuses and computer readable storage media for a handover to dual connectivity. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, a terminal device receives, from a source network device, a connection reconfiguration message comprising configurations about a target master network device and a target secondary network device to be connected with the terminal device. The terminal device performs parallel random access to the target master network device and the target secondary network device. If the terminal device successfully connects to the target secondary network device but fails to connect to the target master network device, the terminal device will reconnect to the target master network device. In addition, the target secondary network device will indicate to the target master network device a result of the random access. As such, the solution can increase the success rate of the handover to dual connectivity.

The present disclosure relates to radio resource control (RRC) reestablishment methods and apparatuses. In one example method, a terminal device selects a target cell, where the target cell supports an expected network slice. The terminal device sends an RRC reestablishment request message by using the target cell. The expected network slice may include a network slice that the terminal device expects to access, or a network slice corresponding to a PDU session established by the terminal device by using a last serving access network device of the terminal device. The terminal device may select the target cell within a preset time period. For example, the terminal device starts a first timer when the terminal device starts selecting the target cell, and selects the target cell during running of the first timer. The first timer may be specific to one or more network slices or all network slices.
