Resource handling in cell switch

Abstract

Example embodiments of the disclosure relate to methods, apparatuses, and a computer readable storage medium for handling contentionfree random access (CFRA) resources in a cell switch. In a method, a first apparatus, receives, from a second apparatus, a configuration indicating CFRA resources for at least one candidate cell. The first apparatus receives, from the second apparatus, a cell switch command towards a first candidate cell.In accordance with a determination that a first cell switch to the first candidate cell fails, the first apparatus determines a second candidate cell for a second cell switch. The second candidate cell being one of the at least one candidate cell. Then the first apparatus discards CFRA resources for the second candidate cell.
