Description

Technical Field

[0001] Various example embodiments relate to the field of wireless communications, and specifically to mobility processes and / or at least one offset for mobility processes. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of wireless communications, there exists the concept of mobility management, which includes mobility processes such as, for example, Layer-Triggered Mobility (LTM) or Layer 1 (L1) / Layer 2 (L2) triggered mobility. These can include cell switching or handover processes, particularly where the serving cell of a device (e.g., a user equipment (UE)) can be switched to, for example, a candidate cell or a target cell. This can include the device (e.g., the UE) performing and / or reporting measurements on a target cell that can be configured by the network. Mobility processes such as LTM can provide improvements in handover latency and / or downtime compared to Layer 3 (L3) based mobility. However, mobility processes such as LTM can include several limitations, particularly compared to Layer 3 (L3) mobility. This can potentially offer several benefits, such as reducing at least one or more of these limitations. In some scenarios, mobility management can include intra-cell beam management, where the serving cell beam can be changed to a new serving beam. In addition, or alternatively, especially for mobility processes, particularly for LTM processes and / or enabling / improving event-triggered reporting, enabling Channel State Information (CSI) Reference Signal (RS) measurements may be beneficial.

Detailed Implementation

[0256] Reference will now be made in detail to various embodiments, one or more examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Throughout the following description of the drawings, the same reference numerals may refer to the same components. Generally, only differences with respect to the various embodiments may be described. Each example is provided by way of explanation and is not intended to be limiting. Furthermore, features shown or described as part of one embodiment may be used on or in combination with other embodiments to produce yet another embodiment. This specification is intended to include such modifications and variations.

[0257] The accompanying drawings are schematic diagrams not drawn to scale. Some elements in the drawings may have enlarged dimensions to highlight aspects of this disclosure and / or for clarity of presentation.

[0258] "Mobility procedure" can be considered or can refer to the process of transferring a device (particularly a user equipment (UE)) from one network entity (e.g., cell, beam, or access point) to another, particularly the process of maintaining seamless connectivity. Mobility can be the assurance of uninterrupted communication when a user moves across different coverage areas. It can prevent dropped calls and / or interruptions in data sessions. Mobility procedure can also be referred to as cell switching procedure. A non-limiting example of a mobility procedure is handover (HO), which can occur at higher layers (e.g., Layer 3 (L3) and / or cell handover) and can occur at lower layers (e.g., Layer 1 (L1) / Layer 2 (L2)). "Mobility procedure" can also refer to beam management or intra-cell mobility, where a UE can, for example, switch from one (serving) beam to another (new) serving beam.

[0259] "Later-layer triggered mobility" (LTM) or "Layer 1 (L1) / Layer 2 (L2) triggered mobility" can refer to a specific mobility procedure, for example, initiated in a cellular network based on events and / or measurements detected at lower layers of the protocol stack (e.g., the physical layer or Layer 1 and / or the data link layer or Layer 2, etc.). LTM can provide mechanisms, for example, for network nodes and user equipment (UEs) to address mobility needs, complementing, for example, upper-layer (e.g., Layer 3 or Radio Resource Control (RRC) mobility procedures). LTM can include cell handover procedures, for example, where the UE's serving cell (e.g., primary cell (PCell), PSCell, or secondary cell (SCell)) can be switched, for example, by a network node, for example, by sending a message (e.g., a cell handover command or an LTM cell handover command). The LTM handover command can be assumed to be delivered by Media Access Control (MAC) signaling, especially using a MAC control element (CE). Therefore, not using RRC signaling as an L3-based handover can be a method for changing between cells.

[0260] As described above, LTM can be viewed as a mobility process where the UE (User Equipment) can quickly switch cells based on lower-layer measurements, e.g., without requiring a full handover procedure. This process can be designed to minimize service disruption by allowing, for example, early synchronization (such as UL / DL synchronization) and / or timing capture (e.g., utilizing candidate or target cells) (e.g., before handover). LTM cell handover decisions can be based on measurements (e.g., L1 measurements) that can be performed and / or reported by the UE (e.g., via corresponding L1 measurement reports). Prior to cell handover, the network can optionally activate one or more TCI states for one or more candidate cells. Once a candidate cell TCI state is activated, the UE can begin tracking time / frequency synchronization, e.g., using a reference signal associated with the activated TCI state. The UE can also perform early UL synchronization prior to cell handover, e.g., if this is requested by the network.

[0261] A general but non-limiting LTM mobility process can be described as follows. The device (e.g., UE) may connect to a cell (e.g., serving cell), which may be referred to as a connection mode or Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection. The device (e.g., UE) may perform radio measurements on the serving cell and / or neighboring cells based on its measurement configuration. The device (e.g., UE) may then send a measurement report to a base station (e.g., gNodeB or gNB) in a message (particularly a measurement report message). The base station may analyze the measurement report and, for example, determine, decide, and / or initiate LTM preparation or LTM candidate preparation by selecting candidate cells that the UE can hand over to. The base station may send a message to the device (e.g., UE), particularly an RRC reconfiguration message, which may include at least one mobility configuration, particularly at least one LTM candidate configuration. The mobility configuration may include and / or define a set of potential (one or more) target cells for future LTM cell handover. The device (e.g., UE) may store the mobility configuration, for example, for later use. The device (e.g., UE) may then specifically acknowledge receipt by sending an RRCReconfigurationComplete message back to the gNB. Before receiving the actual cell handover command, the device (e.g., UE) can initiate or begin downlink (DL) synchronization with the candidate cell or target cell. This step ensures that the device (e.g., UE) is aligned with the candidate cell's downlink transmission when the cell handover command arrives. Subsequently, the device (e.g., UE) can perform early timing advance (TA) acquisition using the candidate cell before receiving the cell handover command, for example, as requested by the network. Timing advance (TA) may be needed to compensate for signal propagation delay between the device (e.g., UE) and the base station. For example, the network may request the device (e.g., UE) to perform early TA acquisition using contention-free random access (CFRA) before the handover occurs. To this end, the serving cell (source gNB) can send a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) command to the device (e.g., UE), instructing / triggering it to send a preamble to the indicated target (candidate) cell. The device (e.g., UE) can then send the preamble to the indicated target cell. To minimize data interruption in the source cell due to CFRA towards the candidate cell, the device (e.g., UE) may not receive a Random Access Response (RAR) from the network. Instead, the timing advance (TA) value of the candidate cell can be provided / indicated later in the actual cell handover command. The device (e.g., UE) may not maintain a TA timer for the candidate cell; instead, it may rely on the network to ensure the validity of the TA. While awaiting a potential cell handover, the device (e.g., UE) may perform L1 (Layer 1) measurements on the candidate cell, particularly continuously.A device (e.g., a UE) can send an L1 measurement report to the gNB, for example, to assist the network in making informed decisions about when and / or where to hand over. As long as the RRCReconfiguration remains valid, the device (e.g., the UE) can continue L1 measurements. Based on the L1 measurement report, the gNB can decide to hand over the device (e.g., the UE) to a new cell. For example, the gNB can decide to perform a cell handover to the target cell and / or it can trigger the cell handover by sending a Media Access Control (MAC) control element (CE) that includes the candidate configuration index (ID) of the target cell. The device (e.g., the UE) can switch to the target cell and / or apply the configuration indicated by the candidate configuration index. If the device (e.g., the UE) does not yet have a valid TA for the target cell, it can, for example, perform a random access procedure before it can fully connect. Once the device (e.g., the UE) has switched to the target cell and / or it has completed the LTM cell handover procedure, it can send a message to the (new) target cell, specifically an RRCReconfigurationComplete message, confirming the handover. If the device (e.g., UE) has performed a random access (RA) procedure, the device (e.g., UE) can consider the LTM cell handover to have been successfully completed, especially when the random access procedure has been successfully completed. For LTM without RACH, the device (e.g., UE) can consider the LTM cell handover to have been successfully completed, especially when the device (e.g., UE) determines that the network has successfully received its first uplink (UL) data. Steps from DL synchronization can be performed multiple times, for example, for subsequent LTMs using the LTM candidate configuration provided in the previous step. This procedure can also be applied to both intra-gNB DU mobility and inter-gNB DU mobility. For intra-gNB DU LTM, the device (e.g., UE) can handover between cells within the same distributed unit (DU) (e.g., under the same gNB). For inter-gNB DU LTM, the device (e.g., UE) can handover between cells belonging to different DUs (potentially even different gNBs). The F1-C interface procedures associated with LTM can handle signaling and / or mobility management between the CU (Central Unit) and DU (Distributed Unit).

[0262] As described above, LTM cell handover decisions can be based on L1 measurements, which can be performed and / or reported, for example, by a device (e.g., by a UE) using L1 measurement reports. The measurements and / or reports can be based on LTM candidate cell configurations provided by the network for one or more LTM candidate cells.

[0263] L1 (Layer 1) measurements can include physical layer measurements to assess radio conditions. These measurements may involve evaluating the signal strength, quality, and / or other parameters of a reference signal transmitted by a network node, for example, using one or more beams. L1 measurements can be used for mobility management, such as handover, beam management, and / or connection re-establishment. To select appropriate candidate cells and / or beams, for example for early uplink and / or downlink synchronization and / or cell handover in LTM, both intra-frequency L1 measurements and / or inter-frequency L1 measurements can be supported and / or utilized, for example using synchronization signal blocks (SSBs) transmitted from candidate cells. Intra-frequency L1 measurements can refer to measurements performed on a reference signal transmitted, for example, at the same carrier frequency as the serving cell, which can be used, for example, to assess the signal quality of the serving cell. Inter-frequency L1 measurements can refer to measurements performed on a reference signal transmitted, for example, at a frequency different from the carrier frequency of the serving cell, which can be used, for example, to assess the signal quality of cells or beams operating at different frequency layers. The reference signal used for L1 measurements may include a synchronization signal block (SSB).

[0264] The following are non-limiting examples related to L1 measurements and / or how to perform measurements for event-triggered reporting: The network can configure an RRC_CONNECTED UE to perform L1 beamlevel measurements for SpCell and LTM candidate cells, including L1 RSRP [and SINR]. The network can configure the UE to report these measurements based on L1 event-triggered beamlevel measurement configurations. When L1 event-triggered conditions are met, measurement reports can be used to indicate L1 beamlevel measurement results from the serving cell and / or candidate cells to the serving gNB. Measurement configurations associated with L1 measurement resource configurations can be provided via RRC-specific signaling. The network can configure the UE to perform L1 event-triggered beamlevel measurements for the following LTM purposes: selecting candidate beams / cells to trigger early synchronization and / or selecting target beams / cells and triggering LTM cell handover procedures. The network can configure the UE to report the following measurement information based on SS / PBCH blocks: measurement results for each SS / PBCH block; SS / PBCH Block Resource Indicator (SSBRI). The network can configure the UE to report the following measurement information based on CSI-RS resources: measurement results for each CSI-RS resource and / or CSI-RS Resource Indicator (CRI). The RRC can configure the following parameters for L1 event-triggered measurements and corresponding reporting procedures in [LTM-CSI-ReportConfig and LTM-CSI-ResourceConfig]: RRC parameters for measurement configuration and / or RRC parameters for reporting configuration. In RRC_CONNECTED, the UE can obtain L1 beam-level measurement results by measuring, for example, one or more beams configured by the network. For each L1 beam-level measurement result in RRC_CONNECTED, the UE can apply Layer 1 filtering before using the measurement results for reporting criteria and measurement report evaluation. The MAC entity can perform reporting criterion evaluation, particularly based on the L1 filtered measurement results from the lower layers. For L1 beam-level event-triggered measurement reports, the network can configure the SS / PBCH block or CSI-RS as the event evaluation RS type and configure the L1-RSRP [or SINR] as the trigger quantity. [The reporting quantity can be any combination of quantities (i.e., L1-RSRP only; [SINR only; L1-RSRP and SINR]), regardless of the trigger quantity.

[0265] "Mobility configuration" can be viewed as a set of network parameters provided to a device (e.g., a UE) to guide how it should perform mobility procedures and / or define how and / or when the device (e.g., a UE) should trigger one or more mobility-related actions. Mobility configuration can be associated with at least one candidate cell. Mobility configuration can include at least one of the following: at least one Channel State Information (CSI) resource configuration and / or at least one CSI reporting configuration. Mobility configuration can also include at least one offset value. In the example, mobility configuration can be a lower-layer triggered mobility LTM configuration.

[0266] In the example, the mobility configuration could be a Layer 1 (L1) measurement configuration. In the example, the mobility configuration could be a serving cell beam reporting configuration, and the at least one candidate cell could be the serving cell. In such an example, mobility reporting could focus on the serving cell's beams, rather than simply measuring and / or reporting the entire cell. For example, the UE could track multiple beams from the same serving cell and / or determine whether a beam handover or mobility event is needed. In other words, the UE could evaluate different beams or sectors of its current serving cell, for example, as potential mobility targets, rather than measuring external neighboring cells. A mobility candidate (e.g., a second-best option) might not be a new cell, but another beam or sector within the same serving cell.

[0267] The following exemplary LTM context provides a non-limiting example of mobility configuration. Information about measurement resources (e.g., SSBs) from LTM candidate cells can be provided to the UE, enabling the UE to perform measurements. The UE can also be configured with an L1 measurement reporting configuration, where the UE can report measurements. For LTM, periodic and / or semi-persistent reporting of PUCCH, semi-persistent reporting of PUSCH, and / or non-periodic reporting of PUSCH can be supported. The UE can be configured with one or more LTM CSI reporting configurations (…). LTM-CSI-ReportConfig Each report configuration can contain LTMCSI resource configurations ( LTM-CSI-ResourceConfig This contains information about the resources to be used for channel measurements (L1-RSRP measurements). For each reporting configuration, the UE can be configured to report M beams from each of L configured candidate cells. Specifically, each LTM CSI resource setting ( LTM-CSI-ResourceConfig ) can contain LTM-CSI- SSB-ResourceSet The configuration can include a list of Z≥1 SS / PBCH block indices (by... ltm-CSI-SSB- ResourceList (Given) and the Z of candidate cells associated with the SS / PBCH block index. LTM-CandidateIds The list (by) ltm-CandidateIDList(Given). For each candidate cell, the UE can, according to... ssb-Periodicity and ssb-PositionsInBurst The temporal behavior of SS / PBCH block resources is determined, and the frequency domain behavior of SS / PBCH block resources can be determined by upper-layer parameters. subCarrierSpacing To determine this: i) For each cell, the LTM CSI report configuration can be given under the configuration of the currently serving cell, where each report configuration can include an indication of the LTM CSI resource configuration and / or other parameters related to the report, such as timing and / or uplink resources used to send the report. ii) The LTM CSI resource configuration can contain a set of SSB indices from multiple candidate cells. This can be placed in the common LTM configuration, i.e., in LTM-Config. iii) The detailed configuration of each SSB of the candidate cells indicated in the LTM CSI resource configuration can be given in LTM-SSB-Config under the LTM-Candidate Information Element (IE). For each candidate cell, the LTM-Candidate IE can contain the configuration / information required by the UE, such as SSB information used for LTM measurements before cell handover. iv) The LTM-Candidate IE may also contain a list of NZP-CSI-RS resources, which can be used to provide information for activating the TCI state associated with the tracking RS (the type of CSI-RS). The same applies to LTM measurements with CSI-RS. v) The LTM-Candidate IE may also include an RRC container (ServingCellConfig), which may contain all the configuration details the UE will need after a cell handover from the current serving cell and after the UE moves to a candidate cell. In other words, the ServingCellConfig given under the LTM-Candidate IE may contain the configuration details required to perform regular serving cell operations within the candidate cell.

[0268] In the exemplary context of LTM, mobility configuration may be included in a message. This may be referred to, for example, as an "LTM configuration message," which can be understood as at least one message from a network node to configure means, such as a user equipment (UE), for one or more parts or steps of the LTM and / or LMT process (e.g., LTM cell handover). LTM messages may include data, information, configuration, parameters, and / or instructions, particularly as exemplified above, for example for the UE, such as to perform and / or trigger mobility-related measurements and / or reports.

[0269] A “candidate cell” (or “target cell”) can refer to a neighboring cell that a device (e.g., a UE) evaluates as a potential replacement for the current serving cell, particularly during mobility events. If certain conditions are met, the UE can initiate a transition process to the target cell. A “serving cell” can be the active cell currently providing network connectivity to the UE. The UE can continuously measure the quality of the serving cell and compare it with potential candidate cells to determine if a mobility event is necessary. An LTM candidate cell can be a neighboring cell or the UE’s current serving cell (e.g., SCell) (as described above). LTM measurements of neighboring candidate cells can be performed using an SSB sent by the candidate cell that provides SSB configuration to the UE.

[0270] A “candidate beam” (or “target beam”) can be referred to as a reference signal of the serving cell that the device (e.g., the UE) can evaluate, for example, as a potential replacement for the current beam, particularly a reference signal or a quasi-co-located reference signal corresponding to the indicated TCI state (serving beam of the serving cell). Reporting criteria can be completed, established, and / or satisfied if certain / specific conditions based on measurements of the reference signal (e.g., one or more candidate beams corresponding to the current beam and the same serving cell) are met.

[0271] A "reporting criterion" can be at least one condition, requirement, rule, or set of rules and / or assumptions to be met, particularly for a device (e.g., a UE), to generate and / or send a report (e.g., a measurement report). Reporting criteria can be established, satisfied, and / or completed, which can mean that at least one reporting event is triggered, detected, identified, and / or determined, and / or an event report can be initiated or triggered. Reporting criteria may not be completed or not established / satisfied, or at least partially completed, which can mean that at least one reporting event is not triggered, detected, identified, and / or determined, and / or an event report is not initiated or triggered. Therefore, a "reporting event" can be an indicator, initiator, and / or trigger when reporting criteria are satisfied, completed, and / or established, and / or when the existence of the event to be reported is defined / considered. In other words, a reporting event can occur or be determined to occur when reporting conditions are met. For example, reporting criteria can define rules on when measurements should be reported, and / or a reporting event can be the actual moment when those conditions are met, thereby triggering the UE to send a report. Reporting criteria can be threshold-based, for example, measurements (e.g., signal strength) can cross pre-configured thresholds; comparison-based, for example, the signal quality of different reference signals can be compared and / or reported, e.g., if specific conditions are met (e.g., one cell becomes superior to another); or time-based, for example, some conditions may require measurements to stabilize for a specific period before triggering a report. This allows devices (e.g., UEs) to report only when necessary, e.g., to minimize excessive signaling and / or ensure mobility actions occur at the correct time. This also allows resources to be adjusted, particularly dynamically, based on real-time conditions. Thus, “event assessment” can be considered as the process by which a device (e.g., a UE) analyzes the measured signal quality and / or compares the measured signal quality with thresholds (particularly adjusted by offsets) to determine whether to trigger a reporting event.

[0272] In a non-limiting example, lower-layer triggered mobility (LTM) may include or define reporting events, particularly LTM reporting events such as LTM 2, LTM 3, LTM 4, and LTM 5 events, which may define specific conditions, events, and / or scenarios under which the UE may send one or more measurement reports, for example, to assist mobility decisions. These events may be tied to measurements of Layer 1 (L1) parameters (such as L1-RSRP) and may be used for handover and / or mobility management. The following is a non-limiting list of example LTM reporting events, such as at least one radio link or at least one beam becoming worse or degraded, and it should be noted that other radio links or other beams are also conceivable: - LTM2 event: This event may occur, for example, when the signal strength of the serving cell's beam drops below or becomes below, for example, an absolute threshold; - LTM 3 event: This event may occur, for example, when the signal strength of the beam of a candidate cell or target cell becomes better or stronger than the signal strength of the beam of the serving cell. For example, at least one measured RS of at least one candidate cell exceeds at least one measured RS of the serving cell by at least one offset value; - LTM4 event: This event may occur, for example, when the signal strength of the beam of the candidate cell or the target cell becomes better than, for example, an absolute threshold. - LTM5 event: This event may occur, for example, when the signal strength of the serving cell's beam becomes worse than, for example, an absolute threshold, and the signal strength of the candidate cell's or target cell's beam becomes better than another threshold (e.g., an absolute threshold).

[0273] The following is a non-restricted list of example beam management reporting events: Event: This event may occur, for example, when the L1-RSRP of at least one new beam becomes a value that is better than the threshold of the current (serving beam) L1-RSRP. Event: This event may occur, for example, when the L1-RSRP of a new beam becomes better than the threshold value of the L1-RSRP of the RS derived from the activated TCI state with the Nth best quality.

[0274] In some examples, the offset can be referred to as the value of the threshold.

[0275] In any of the examples described herein, the serving beam may refer to the indicated TCI state (e.g., for a serving cell). The TCI state may include one or more configurations of reference signals. Reference signals derived, determined, and / or included in the TCI state may refer to at least one reference signal or quasi-co-located source reference signal configured in the TCI state (e.g., information element).

[0276] The “measurement result” or “measurement outcome” can be a specifically quantified signal characteristic and / or quality (e.g., RSRP, SINR), obtained, for example, from a reference signal (SSB, CSI-RS) or a beam for mobility decision-making. At least one “offset value” can be considered a specific numerical value that can be used, for example, to adjust the measurement result / threshold, such as to trigger a specific event, such as a report or mobility decision. It should be noted that one or more offset values ​​can exist. For example, a first offset value and a second offset value (or even more, such as multiple offset values) can exist. The first offset value can be the same as or different from the second offset value. The first offset value can be configured, applied, and / or utilized in the same or different manner as the second offset value. At least one offset value as described herein can be a beam-specific offset value and / or a cell-specific offset value. A beam-specific offset value can be considered to be applied to or applicable to one or more specific beams, groups / subgroups of beams, and / or sets / subsets of beams, for example, within a cell. A cell-specific offset can be considered to be applicable to or applicable to, particularly the entire cell and / or different specific cells, such as a first cell and / or a second cell. For example, the first offset may be specific to a first cell, and the second offset may be specific to a second cell, wherein the first offset and the second offset are different from each other.

[0277] As described above, reporting criteria can include entry criteria or entry conditions and / or exit criteria or exit conditions. For example, entry criteria can determine when a reported event should be triggered. Exit criteria, for example, can determine when an ongoing event should be considered invalid, which may mean stopping and / or canceling reporting. In other words, an "entry criterion / condition" can refer to when the UE begins reporting an event (i.e., when the signal measurement exceeds a certain threshold), and an "exit criterion / condition" can refer to when the UE stops reporting an event (i.e., when the signal measurement drops below / below a certain threshold). Offset values ​​can modify the baseline or reference measurement threshold, for example, making it easier or harder for the UE to trigger a reported event. If the measurement exceeds (or meets) the adjusted threshold, the entry condition can be considered met, and the UE can report the event. Similar to entry conditions, offset values ​​can modify exit thresholds. If the measured signal drops below or below the adjusted threshold, the UE considers the event invalid and stops or cancels reporting. This mechanism can prevent excessive and / or unnecessary reporting, such as when conditions worsen. Offset values ​​can adjust these thresholds, thus affecting how quickly the UE reacts to changes in signal strength. A well-configured offset can prevent unnecessary event-triggered reports, thereby reducing signaling overhead in the network.

[0278] As described above, at least one offset value can be applied to modify, change, adjust, shift, alter, influence, and / or regulate reporting criteria. Specifically, at least one offset value can be applied to the result or measurement outcome of the measured RS. This can be performed before evaluating whether an event should be triggered, e.g., before or at least substantially simultaneously with the event evaluation. For example, if the measured RS or RS measurement is close to a threshold, applying at least one offset can move it into or out of the trigger range. This can allow for fine-tuned mobility decisions, particularly by managing reporting behavior through, for example, dynamically shifting the reporting trigger. If the adjusted measurement of the RS meets the reporting criteria (e.g., after applying the offset), the UE can trigger a reporting event.

[0279] The term “beam” or “at least one beam” may be used interchangeably with RS herein and is considered, for example, a particularly concentrated transmission of a radio signal, including, for example, a reference signal that may be transmitted using multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) and / or beamforming techniques. Beams can have various characteristics and are used for different purposes based on their configuration and use cases. At least one beam may include one or more beams or pairs of beams that can be received from the same or different sources, such as a first beam and a second beam. For example, there may be a first beam from the serving cell and a second beam from a candidate or target cell. Beams can be characterized by various attributes, including, for example, signal strength or power, which can indicate the strength of the signal transmitted by the beam at the receiver (e.g., UE). This can be measured, for example, as Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP), such as the average received power of the reference signal, or Reference Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI), such as the total received power including noise and / or interference. A stronger signal can indicate better connectivity. Beams can also be characterized by signal quality, taking into account interference and / or noise, such as how “clean” the signal is. This can be measured, for example, as reference signal received quality (RSRQ), such as the ratio of RSRP to RSSI, indicating the level of interference, and / or signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR), such as the ratio of expected signal power to interference and / or noise power. Other properties and / or metrics may be conceived.

[0280] A “Transmission Configuration Indication (TCI) state” can represent the configuration of a reference signal (RS) and / or beam for specific optimized communication with a specific candidate cell. For example, a TCI state can define a set of transmission parameters (such as beam direction and / or spatial filtering) that an apparatus (e.g., a UE) can assume in a particularly specific reference signal (RS) (e.g., in the serving cell). A “Quasi-Co-located (QCL) RS” can be a reference signal (RS) that shares specific attributes with another RS. A TCI state can specify one or more QCL RSs that the UE can use to infer spatial and / or temporal attributes for channel estimation.

[0281] The following examples relate to improved methods / processes / steps for applying and / or configuring at least one offset value in a mobility process, particularly for event triggering, reporting, and / or event evaluation. In other words, the following examples may describe improved methods / processes / steps for applying at least one offset value and / or configuring at least one offset value that is not currently defined.

[0282] In any of the examples in this document, the range or threshold of the offset value used as the offset value may have an example value range of approximately -3 dB.. 0 dB.. 3 dB. However, it should be noted that other ranges are also conceivable. The offset value may be configurable, adjustable and / or selectable or specified as a fixed offset value. The offset value may have negative, positive, or zero values. Other example values ​​may be used / configured as needed or appropriately.

[0283] In the examples mentioned herein, at least one offset value may be included in at least one CSI report configuration, provided in at least one CSI report configuration, included in at least one CSI report configuration, configured in at least one CSI report configuration, or as part of and / or embedded in at least one CSI report configuration. This allows for simple yet efficient offset configuration and / or application. In other words, at least one offset value can be a direct part of at least one CSI report configuration. Thus, when a device (e.g., a UE) receives at least one CSI report configuration, it also / correspondingly receives at least one offset value. Providing at least one offset value as part of at least one CSI report configuration can reduce signaling overhead; for example, additional configuration messages for at least one offset value may not be required. Furthermore, it simplifies processing because the UE may not need to look up a separate offset configuration. Simultaneously, minimal configuration overhead is likely to exist. For example, since at least one offset is part of a CSI report configuration, a separate offset configuration is unnecessary. It also enables the network to manage the offset of a specific set of reference signals (e.g., a beam) by configuring a specific offset value for each report configuration, which can then be further associated with one or more reference signals.

[0284] At least one offset value can be provided as an Information Element (IE) (or as a parameter field in the configuration) within at least one CSI report configuration. For example, at least one offset value can be stored in an IE. This provides greater flexibility; for instance, if the offset value needs to be changed, modifying the IE can be easier than directly modifying the CSI report configuration. An IE can be considered a specific structured data field used in signaling, where at least one offset value is embedded and / or encapsulated. Associating at least one offset value with a CSI report configuration allows all measurement RSs associated with the CSI report configuration to be associated with the same offset value, thereby reducing signaling effort for the offset value. Using a specific IE reduces protocol complexity because the IE allows for efficient and standardized processing. It also allows for clear associations, as the offset value is explicitly associated with the corresponding CSI report configuration without ambiguity.

[0285] At least one offset value can be specific or special, customized, tailored, adjusted, and / or uniquely associated with at least one CSI reporting configuration. For example, each CSI reporting configuration can have its own dedicated offset, which can avoid overlap with other configurations, for example. This can allow assigning particularly different offsets to different reporting configurations, but this may not be mandatory.

[0286] At least one offset value can be applied to each or all RSs indicated in at least one CSI resource configuration. For example, instead of different offsets for each RS, a single offset can be used for all RSs in the configuration. This reduces complexity, avoids the need to manage per-RS offsets and / or avoids the need to configure individual offsets for each RS, thus simplifying the process. When all RSs share the same offset, event triggering can be simplified.

[0287] The aforementioned example can provide a simple yet flexible process for applying / configuring offsets across all RSs in the associated CSI resource configuration used for CSI reporting configuration.

[0288] In the examples mentioned herein, at least one offset value may be included in at least one CSI resource configuration, provided in at least one CSI resource configuration, included in at least one CSI resource configuration, configured in at least one CSI resource configuration, or as part of and / or embedded in at least one CSI resource configuration. This is the opposite of the foregoing examples, where at least one offset value is included in at least one CSI resource configuration. This allows for simple yet efficient offset configuration and / or application, and also reduces ambiguity. In other words, at least one offset value can be a direct part of at least one CSI resource configuration. This ensures that when a device (e.g., a UE) receives a CSI resource configuration, it also receives the corresponding offset value. Providing at least one offset value as part of at least one CSI resource configuration can reduce signaling overhead; for example, additional configuration messages for at least one offset value may not be required. Furthermore, it simplifies processing because the UE may not need to look up a separate offset configuration. This also allows for adjusting the offset for each resource configuration rather than each reporting configuration. Furthermore, any CSI reporting configuration associated with a CSI resource configuration can apply the same offset value. This can reduce the amount of signaling required.

[0289] In one example embodiment, a CSI resource configuration may include cell-specific offset values, particularly associated with candidate cell identifiers or a set of candidate cell identifiers (e.g., listed in the CSI resource configuration). As an example, the configured offset values ​​may be applied to reference signals configured in a CSI resource configuration for candidate cells where offset values ​​can be configured. In some examples, a CSI resource configuration may include a set of reference signals for each candidate cell, and the offset may be applied to these reference signals if the cell is associated with a configured offset value for that CSI resource configuration. As an example, if reference signals are not included in a CSI resource configuration with configured offset values, the offset may not be applied (e.g., although it is "cell-specific").

[0290] At least one offset value may also be included in, provided in, included in, configured in, or as part of an information element IE associated with at least one CSI resource configuration, encapsulated in, and / or embedded in an information element IE. For example, at least one offset value may be stored in an IE. This at least one offset value may be provided as an information element IE within the at least one CSI resource configuration. This provides greater flexibility; for example, if the offset value needs to be changed, modifying the IE may be easier than directly modifying the CSI resource configuration. An IE can be considered a specific structured data field used in signaling, where at least one offset value is embedded and / or encapsulated. Using a specific IE reduces protocol complexity because it allows for efficient and standardized processing. It also allows for clear association because the offset value is explicitly associated with the corresponding CSI resource configuration without ambiguity. At least one offset value may be used to refer to a specific and / or single CSI resource configuration among multiple CSI resource configurations, or to refer to all CSI resource configurations among multiple CSI resource configurations, for example, those managed by a network. This allows at least one offset to be applied to a specific beam and / or signal, for example, when needed.

[0291] At least one offset may be selectively, individually, and / or specifically applied to one or more RSs or beams indicated in at least one CSI resource configuration. For example, it may be possible to select which reference signals (RSs) receive the offset, rather than applying the offset uniformly. This allows different RSs or beams to have different offset values ​​and / or some RSs or beams to be configured and / or have offset values ​​not applied at all. For example, at least one offset value may be applied to a specific predefined group / subgroup or set / subset of RSs or beams indicated in at least one CSI resource configuration. For example, the group / subgroup or set / subset of RSs to which at least one offset value is applied may include fewer RSs or beams than the total number of RSs or beams indicated in at least one CSI resource configuration. This allows assigning separate, different offsets to different RSs or beams. At least one offset value may also be applied to a single RS or beam indicated in at least one CSI resource configuration (e.g., only to it), particularly when other RSs or beams may lack the application of offset values. At least one offset value may be applied only to one or more RSs or beams indicated in at least one CSI resource configuration, for example, but not to all of them. In other words, one or more RSs or beams indicated in at least one CSI resource configuration may (e.g., completely) lack, have none, and / or may not have an applied offset value. This can be interpreted and / or defined, for example, by the device (e.g., UE), as the application of a missing or absent offset value. This can reduce unnecessary configurations, such as ensuring that only the relevant RS receives the offset, thereby avoiding redundant calculations. Unlike selective application, at least one offset value can be applied uniformly, for example, as described above, to each or all RSs or beams within the CSI resource configuration. This can provide substantially equal adjustment of all RSs within the configuration and / or avoid the need to configure the offset of each RS individually, for example, reducing network overhead.

[0292] The aforementioned examples can provide even greater flexibility, such as allowing selective configuration of offsets, for example, for each RS or RS group within a CSI resource configuration.

[0293] In the examples mentioned herein, at least one offset value may be included in, provided in, included in, configured in, or as part of and / or embedded in at least one of the following: at least one CSI resource configuration or as part of at least one CSI reporting configuration. This allows for flexibility, as it can be configured in at least one CSI resource configuration or at least one CSI reporting configuration.

[0294] At least one offset value may be associated, correlated, and / or bound to at least one reference signal RS included in at least one Transmission Configuration Indication (TCI) state of the serving cell. This association may allow the offset value to affect specific / individual beams, for example, to adjust the offset of each beam used in the serving cell. This may allow fine-grained control over beam-specific and / or cell-specific offset values, optimizing handover and / or beam management strategies.

[0295] At least one offset value may be included in at least one Information Element (IE), provided in at least one Information Element (IE), included in at least one Information Element (IE), configured in at least one Information Element (IE), or as part of at least one Information Element (IE), encapsulated in at least one Information Element (IE), or embedded in at least one Information Element (IE) that is individually provided to at least one CSI resource configuration and / or at least one CSI report configuration. For example, at least one offset value may be stored in an IE. This provides greater flexibility; for example, if the offset value needs to be changed, modifying the IE can be easier than directly modifying the CSI resource / report configuration. An IE can be considered a specific structured data field used in signaling, in which at least one offset value is embedded and / or encapsulated. Using a specific IE reduces protocol complexity because the IE allows for efficient and standardized processing. It also allows for clear associations because the offset value is explicitly associated with the corresponding CSI resource / report configuration without ambiguity.

[0296] At least one IE may include at least one RS-to-RS mapping for at least one offset value. For example, an IE may explicitly define how one RS is mapped, linked, and / or associated with another RS, particularly with respect to the offset value. This can allow for precise beam association and / or ensure that the offset is applied to the target reference signal. At least one IE may include at least one association between at least one RS (e.g., a first RS, particularly the serving cell) and at least one RS (e.g., a second RS, particularly at least one candidate cell).

[0297] At least one offset value can be applied to at least one pair of RSs indicated in at least one CSI resource configuration. In other words, at least one offset value can be applied in pairs. At least one offset value can be applied to at least one RS (particularly of the serving cell) and at least one RS (particularly of at least one candidate cell indicated in at least one CSI resource configuration). At least one offset value that can be applied to the first pair of RSs can be the same as at least one other offset value (e.g., a second offset value) applied to the second pair of RSs. This can reduce complexity, for example, by applying the same rule across multiple RS pairs. However, at least one offset value that can be applied to the first pair of RSs can be different; for example, it can have a specific numerical value that is different from at least one other offset value (e.g., a second offset value) applied to the second pair of RSs. This can allow the offset value to be adjusted based on the characteristics of each RS pair. The first pair of RSs and / or the second pair of RSs can include at least one RS of the serving cell and at least one RS of at least one candidate cell.

[0298] At least one IE may include at least one RS to one or more RS mappings, particularly for at least one offset value. For example, an IE may specifically define how an RS is mapped, linked, and / or associated with one or more RSs, especially with respect to offset values.

[0299] For example, at least one offset value can be configured for at least one pair of serving cell RSs and at least one candidate to be applied to the event assessment associated with the reporting configuration: Example 1: Serving cell RS1 <-> RS 1 (candidate ID1) [offset value x]; Example 1: Serving cell RS2<->RS 2 (candidate ID1) [offset value y]; - Example 1: Serving cell RS2<->[RS1(candidate ID1), RS1(candidate ID2)][offset z].

[0300] In the examples above, an offset value (e.g., a first offset value) may be associated with a first set of RS pairs. In the examples above, another offset value (e.g., a second offset value) may be associated with a second set of RS pairs. In any example, the set of RS pairs may include a one-to-one RS pair mapping (e.g., a serving cell RS to a candidate cell RS). In any example, the set of RS pairs may include a one-to-many mapping (e.g., a serving cell RS to one or more candidate cell RSs). In any example, the set of RS pairs may include a many-to-many mapping (e.g., one or more serving cell RSs to one or more candidate cell RSs).

[0301] The aforementioned examples can provide even greater flexibility, for example, by having offset values ​​that are mapped to specific RS pairs or specific RS sets based on QCL and / or TCI associations.

[0302] As used herein, the term “non-transient” refers to the limitation of the medium itself (i.e., tangible, not signal-based), rather than a limitation on the persistence of data storage (e.g., RAM versus ROM).

[0303] As used herein, at least one of the following: a list of two or more elements, and similar wording, wherein a list of two or more elements is connected by “and” or “or”, means at least any one of the elements, or at least any two or more of the elements, or at least all of the elements.

[0304] The device may include a processor configured to provide signals to and receive signals from the device, and to control the functions of the device. The processor may be configured to control other elements of the device via electrical leads connecting the processor to other elements, such as a display or memory, to implement control signaling. The processor may be embodied in various ways, including: a circuit system, at least one processing core, one or more microprocessors with an accompanying digital signal processor, one or more processors without an accompanying digital signal processor, one or more coprocessors, one or more multi-core processors, one or more controllers, a processing circuit system, one or more computers, various other processing elements including integrated circuits (e.g., application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), etc.), or some combination thereof.

[0305] The term "circuit system" can refer to one or more, or all of the following: (a) Hardware circuit implementation only (such as implementation only in analog and / or digital circuit systems), and (b) A combination of hardware circuitry and software, such as (if applicable): (i) A combination of analog and / or digital hardware circuitry with software / firmware, and (ii) Any part of a hardware processor with software (including digital signal processors, software, and memory that work together to enable devices (such as mobile phones or servers) to perform various functions), and (c) Hardware circuitry and / or processors, such as microprocessors or portions thereof, which require software (e.g., firmware) for operation, but may be absent when not required for operation.

[0306] This definition of circuit system applies to all uses of the term in this application, including in any claim. As another example, as used in this application, the term circuit system also covers implementations of hardware circuitry or processors (or processors in general) or a portion thereof and their accompanying software and / or firmware. For example, and if applicable to a particular claim element, the term circuit system also covers baseband integrated circuits or processor integrated circuits used in mobile devices or servers, cellular network devices, or other computing or networking devices.

[0307] The device may include memory capable of storing information elements. The device may include volatile memory and / or non-volatile memory. For example, volatile memory may include random access memory (RAM), including dynamic and / or static RAM, on-chip or off-chip cache memory, etc. Embedded and / or removable non-volatile memory may include, for example, read-only memory, flash memory, magnetic storage devices such as hard disks, floppy disk drives, magnetic tape, optical disk drives and / or media, non-volatile random access memory (NVRAM), etc. Similar to volatile memory, non-volatile memory may include cache regions for temporary data storage. At least a portion of the volatile and / or non-volatile memory may be embedded in a processor. The memory may store one or more software programs, instructions, information fragments, data, etc., that can be used by a device for performing the operations disclosed herein.

It should be noted that any references to LTM, etc., may be considered optional and, specifically, not restrictive. Figure 1 These should be considered as non-limiting examples of the topics described in relation to LTM. In particular, the topics described herein should not be considered as limited to LTM mobility processes and / or associated features / steps.

[0310] The device (e.g., UE) can receive mobility configurations associated with at least one candidate cell. The mobility configuration may include at least one Channel State Information (CSI) resource configuration, at least one CSI reporting configuration, and at least one offset value. The at least one offset value may be included in at least one CSI reporting configuration. The at least one offset value may be explicitly configured as part of at least one CSI reporting configuration. The at least one offset value is provided as an Information Element (IE) within at least one CSI reporting configuration.

[0311] The device (e.g., UE) can perform actions such as Figure 1The measurement described herein. Specifically, the device (e.g., UE) may measure, for example, a reference signal RS indicated or included in at least one CSI resource configuration for at least one candidate cell.

[0312] The device (e.g., UE) can perform a process such as applying at least one offset value to the measured RS result. Figure 1 The event assessment described herein is used to determine reporting criteria for at least one reported event. At least one offset value may be applied, for example, uniformly to each RS or all RSs indicated in at least one CSI resource configuration. At least one offset value from at least one CSI reporting configuration may be applied to the results of the measured RSs to modify or adjust the reporting criteria for at least one reported event.

[0313] exist Figure 1 In this device (e.g., UE), at least one reporting event can be triggered based on reporting criteria. Specifically, at least one reporting event can be triggered based on determining that the result of the measured RS meets the reporting criteria. Based on determining that the reporting criteria are met, the device can initiate an event report using at least one CSI reporting configuration.

[0314] Figure 2 Example signaling based on the subject matter described herein is shown. It should be noted that any references to LTM, etc., may be considered optional and, specifically, not restrictive. Figure 2 These should be considered as non-limiting examples of the topics described in relation to LTM. In particular, the topics described herein should not be considered as limited to LTM mobility processes and / or associated features / steps.

[0315] exist Figure 2 In this device (e.g., UE), the mobility configuration may be received in association with at least one candidate cell. The mobility configuration may include at least one Channel State Information (CSI) resource configuration and at least one offset value. The at least one offset value is included in at least one CSI resource configuration or in an Information Element (IE) associated with at least one CSI resource configuration. The at least one offset value may be explicitly configured as part of at least one CSI resource configuration. The Information Element (IE) may be provided individually to at least one CSI resource configuration. The at least one offset value included in the IE refers to at least one RS included in at least one of the following: a specific CSI resource configuration among multiple CSI resource configurations, or all CSI resource configurations among multiple CSI resource configurations.

[0316] exist Figure 2In this context, the device (e.g., UE) can perform measurements. Specifically, the device (e.g., UE) can measure, for example, a reference signal RS indicated or included in at least one CSI resource configuration for at least one candidate cell.

[0317] The device (e.g., UE) can specifically perform a function on the measured RS result by applying at least one offset value. Figure 2 The event assessment described herein is used to determine reporting criteria for at least one reported event. At least one offset value may be selectively applied to one or more RSs indicated in at least one CSI resource configuration. At least one offset value may be applied to a set of RSs indicated in at least one CSI resource configuration. At least one offset value may be applied to a single RS indicated in at least one CSI resource configuration. It is possible that one or more RSs indicated in at least one CSI resource configuration lack an applied offset value, which can be further interpreted as a lack of offset value application. At least one offset value may be applied to each RS or all RSs indicated in at least one CSI resource configuration. At least one offset value may be applied uniformly to all RSs indicated in at least one CSI resource configuration. At least one offset value from at least one CSI resource configuration is applied to the results of the measured RSs to modify or adjust the reporting criteria for at least one reported event.

[0318] exist Figure 2 In this device (e.g., UE), the device can determine whether at least one reporting event is triggered based on reporting criteria. Specifically, at least one reporting event can be triggered based on determining that the result of the measured RS meets the reporting criteria. Based on determining that the reporting criteria are met, the device can initiate an event report using at least one CSI reporting configuration, for example, included in the mobility configuration.
