Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method, device and computer readable storage medium of communication. The method implemented at a first device comprises receiving, from a second device, a first configuration about a first measurement of first downlink reference signals of the second device and a second configuration about a second measurement of second downlink reference signals of a third device; determining, based on an active bandwidth part of the first device and the first and second configurations, first information for the first measurement and second information for the second measurement; determining a first result of the first measurement based on the first information and a second result of the second measurement based on the second information; and transmitting the first result and the second result to the second device. As such, a fair comparison between the first and second results can be made, and thus it is helpful for the second device to make a correct mobility decision.

This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-readable media, for a service-based cell reselection by a user equipment (UE) in a wireless communication system. The UE may have a service relationship with a particular service. A wireless communication system may provide different types of services via different radio frequencies. The UE may determine which cells to measure for cell reselection to include those that correspond to a service of interest to the UE. In addition to power savings, the UE may experience faster cell reselection for a service. The techniques of this disclosure also may enable a priority-based cell reselection so that the UE can camp on a cell that supports a higher priority service compared to other services supported by the UE.

A method of configuring a set of active cells among neighboring cells to reduce latency and interruption for inter-cell mobility is proposed. The set of active cells is an active set of cells among which UE can do fast cell switching. The set of active cells is configured by the network based on UE measurement report or network deployment information. UE maintains the configuration and can perform pre-synchronization to the configured active cells in downlink (DL) only or in both DL and uplink (UL). UE maintains the DL/UL synchronization with the active cells, and applies configuration once UE is indicated to switch to an active cell as the target cell. Because UE maintains the configuration and DL/UL timing of the target cell before receiving the cell-switch command, the mobility latency and interruption time for inter-cell mobility is reduced.

This application provides a communication method and a communication apparatus. In a multiple connectivity mobility scenario, a terminal device records information related to a secondary network device mobility process to generate a mobility report, and sends the mobility report to a network device. The network device determines, based on content in the mobility report, whether a mobility parameter related to the SN mobility needs to be adjusted. If the mobility parameter needs to be adjusted, the network device performs proper adjustment, thereby improving robustness of secondary network device mobility of the terminal device.

In a measurement method, a terminal device receives a first measurement configuration from a first network element, where the first measurement configuration indicates that the terminal device is to measure a first cell corresponding to a first frequency. The terminal device then sends a measurement report to the first network element, where the measurement report includes a first measurement result of measuring the first cell and a second measurement result of measuring a second cell corresponding to a second frequency, and the second frequency is at least one non-serving frequency different from the first frequency.

A communication method and apparatus to optimize a measurement policy are described. The apparatus may receive a measurement configuration sent by a network device. The measurement configuration may include a first identity and a first period of the first identity. The apparatus sends a measurement report to the network device when the first period expires. The measurement report may include the first identity and a measurement result of the first identity. The measurement result of the first identity includes a measurement result of at least one second identity.

Performing autonomous measurements at a user equipment (UE) may include encoding a radio resource control (RRC) connection request for transmission to a first base station having a first base station type. An RRC connection setup communication received from the first base station may be decoded. Measurements associated with a set of candidate carriers of a second base station type may be autonomously performed while in an RRC connected state. Autonomously performing the measurements may including deriving the set of candidate carriers to be measured. Results from the performed measurements may be stored.

In a system, apparatus, method, and non-transitory computer readable medium for implementing fallback to conditional handover using a SSB reference signal, a UE device may be caused to, receive RRC reconfiguration information from a source RAN node, the RRC reconfiguration information including a SSB RS based CHO execution condition associated with at least one target cell controlled by a target RAN node, and a CSI-RS based CHO execution condition associated with the target cell(s), perform signal measurements of at least one SSB RS and at least one CSI-RS associated with the target cell(s), the at least one CSI-RS associated with a contention-free random access resource, and perform the CHO with the target cell(s) based on the signal measurement results of the at least one SSB RS, the at least one CSI-RS, the SSB based CHO execution condition, and the CSI-RS based CHO execution condition.

A first beam is implemented, from a set of vehicle-based antennas, for current or future communication with a ground-based or satellite-based network via an external antenna (e.g., of a base station or satellite). A second beam may be implemented to detect or determine a better pointing angle for the first beam, thereby “fine tuning” the pointing angle for the first beam. Specifically, the second beam may be “swept” through a range of pointing angles while a signal parameter representing signal quality or strength is measured, detected, or calculated at each pointing angle. The values for the signal parameter may be evaluated to identify a desired value and the pointing angle at which the desired value was obtained. The first beam may be reoriented or repointed at the desired pointing angle, and one or more nodes of vehicle-based communication system may communicate with an external network via the first beam.

Methods and apparatus for UE handover are disclosed. One method of a UE comprising receiving a handover configuration related to a conditional handover command including at least one handover condition and a plurality of candidate cells, wherein the handover condition is configured per candidate cell; and selecting a target cell from the plurality of candidate cells in response to the target cell meeting the corresponding handover condition. The methods and apparatus herein not only increase the likelihood of a successful handover while the power consumption and/or processing time for the UE are acceptable, the processing resource is also saved for eNB.
