A mobile station in a wireless communication network. The mobile station includes a radio communication that transmits an access request message to a base station via a first communication resource, and receives a timing adjustment in response to the access request message from the base station. The mobile station also includes an adjustment value storage unit that stores the timing adjustment, and a control unit that adjusts access timing corresponding to a second communication resource based on the timing adjustment value stored in the adjustment value storage unit. The radio communication unit then communicates with the base station via the first communication resource and the second communication resource.

A method for configuring a measurement gap is provided. The method is used in a first access network device of at least two access network devices that have established connections with a terminal.

The apparatus includes a radio frequency (RF) signal processing device, processing a plurality of RF signals to generate a plurality of baseband signals, a baseband signal processing device, processing the baseband signals, and a processor, determining whether a first predetermined threshold value related to cell reselection of the serving cell is greater than a second predetermined threshold value related to cell reselection of a predetermined neighbor cell, and when the first predetermined threshold value is greater than the second predetermined threshold value, determining not to perform cell reselection to reselect to the predetermined neighbor cell and determining to perform at least one radio activity instead in a predetermined period of time reserved for performing the cell reselection.

A first method (and related first apparatus) includes transmitting, in a handover request message, an indication of a first protocol version; a second method (and related second apparatus) includes receiving, in the handover request message, the indication, deciding, based on the received indication and a second protocol version, on a value of an information element included in a handover request acknowledgement message to be transmitted, the information element indicating usage of a first or second signaling scheme, and transmitting the handover request acknowledgement message including the information element; and in the first method receiving the handover request acknowledgement message including the information element; and a third method (and related third apparatus) including receiving the handover command message including the information element, and configuring according to one of the first and second signaling schemes indicated by the information element.

Conditional handover (CHO) configurations may include random access channel (RACH) configuration information (e.g., beam quality thresholds, beam quality threshold offsets, one or more beams associated with configured contention free random access (CFRA) resources, one or more beams associated with configured contention based random access (CBRA) resources, or some combination thereof). A user equipment (UE) may, upon detection that a handover condition in a CHO configuration has been satisfied, select a target cell beam for transmission of a random access request based on the RACH configuration information included in the CHO configuration. In various examples, the selected beam may correspond to a highest quality beam with a highest quality beam measurement value above the beam quality threshold, a beam with an earliest configured CFRA resource or an earliest configured CBRA resource (e.g., if a corresponding beam measurement at least falls within the beam quality threshold offset), etc.

A method of operating a network node includes establishing a connection to a wireless device from a first transmission/reception point, TRP, that serves a multiple-TRP cell, and configuring the wireless device to generate measurement reports based on a TRP-specific reference signal transmitted by a second TRP that serves the multiple-TRP cell. A method of operating a wireless device includes establishing a connection to a first transmission/reception point, TRP, that serves a multiple-TRP cell, and generating a measurement report based on a TRP-specific reference signal transmitted by a second TRP that serves the multiple-TRP cell. Related devices and computer program products are disclosed.

Embodiments herein relate to, for example, a method performed by a first radio network node (12) for handling communication in a wireless communications network. The first radio network node receives from a second radio network node (15), an indication indicating whether handover or cell reselection to the second radio network node is confirmed or not, wherein the indication indicates whether a migrating node and/or one or more other nodes, directly and indirectly served by the migrating node, are accepted or cancelled for handover or cell reselection to the second radio network node (15). The first radio network node further determines to cancel handover or cell reselection of a subset of the one or more other nodes based the received indication.

Apparatus and methods are provided for RRM measurement in the NR network. In one novel aspect, the RRM measurement is configured with one measurement gap for SS block and CSI-RS. In one embodiment, an extended MGL (eMGL) is configured such that the SS block and CSI-RS is measurement within one measurement gap. In another embodiment, the shorter MGL (sMGL) that is shorter than the standard MGL is configured. In another novel aspect, the CSI-RS is allocated adjacent to the SS blocks such that one measurement gap is configured for both the SS block and CSI-RS measurement. In another novel aspect, the CSI-RS measurement is conditionally configured. In yet another novel aspect, the UE decodes the time index of the SS block conditionally.

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to communication. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, new power thresholds are introduced for triggering and/or quitting the relaxed measurement mode. In this way, the terminal device can be avoided entering into the relaxed measurement mode if the terminal device is at the cell edge. Further, a network device configured mapping information of neighbor cells for entering the relaxed measurement mode. In this way, the related measurement mode can be selected for a proper neighboring cell. Moreover, a terminal device may be configured with one or more identities for descrambling downlink information. In this way, resources at the terminal device can be saved.
