FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE

[0002] Aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to wireless communication and to techniques and apparatuses for Layer 1/Layer 2 (L1/L2) inter-cell mobility measurement reporting.

BACKGROUND

[0003] Wireless communication systems are widely deployed to provide various telecommunication services such as telephony, video, data, messaging, and broadcasts. Typical wireless communication systems may employ multiple-access technologies capable of supporting communication with multiple users by sharing available system resources (e.g., bandwidth, transmit power, or the like). Examples of such multiple-access technologies include code division multiple access (CDMA) systems, time division multiple access (TDMA) systems, frequency division multiple access (FDMA) systems, orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) systems, single-carrier frequency division multiple access (SC- FDMA) systems, time division synchronous code division multiple access (TD-SCDMA) systems, and Long Term Evolution (LTE). LTE/LTE- Advanced is a set of enhancements to the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) mobile standard promulgated by the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP).

[0004] A wireless network may include one or more base stations that support communication for a user equipment (UE) or multiple UEs. A UE may communicate with a base station via downlink communications and uplink communications. “Downlink” (or “DL”) refers to a communication link from the base station to the UE, and “uplink” (or “UL”) refers to a communication link from the UE to the base station.

[0005] The above multiple access technologies have been adopted in various telecommunication standards to provide a common protocol that enables different UEs to communicate on a municipal, national, regional, and/or global level. New Radio (NR), which may be referred to as 5G, is a set of enhancements to the LTE mobile standard promulgated by the 3GPP. NR is designed to better support mobile broadband internet access by improving spectral efficiency, lowering costs, improving services, making use of new spectrum, and better integrating with other open standards using orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) with a cyclic prefix (CP) (CP-OFDM) on the downlink, using CP-OFDM and/or single-carrier frequency division multiplexing (SC-FDM) (also known as discrete Fourier transform spread OFDM (DFT-s-OFDM)) on the uplink, as well as supporting beamforming, multiple -input multiple -output (MIMO) antenna technology, and carrier aggregation. As the demand for mobile broadband access continues to increase, further improvements in LTE, NR, and other radio access technologies remain useful.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] Various aspects of the disclosure are described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings. This disclosure may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to any specific structure or function presented throughout this disclosure. Rather, these aspects are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art. One skilled in the art should appreciate that the scope of the disclosure is intended to cover any aspect of the disclosure disclosed herein, whether implemented independently of or combined with any other aspect of the disclosure. For example, an apparatus may be implemented or a method may be practiced using any number of the aspects set forth herein. In addition, the scope of the disclosure is intended to cover such an apparatus or method which is practiced using other structure, functionality, or structure and functionality in addition to or other than the various aspects of the disclosure set forth herein. It should be understood that any aspect of the disclosure disclosed herein may be embodied by one or more elements of a claim. [0034] Several aspects of telecommunication systems will now be presented with reference to various apparatuses and techniques. These apparatuses and techniques will be described in the following detailed description and illustrated in the accompanying drawings by various blocks, modules, components, circuits, steps, processes, algorithms, or the like (collectively referred to as “elements”). These elements may be implemented using hardware, software, or combinations thereof. Whether such elements are implemented as hardware or software depends upon the particular application and design constraints imposed on the overall system. [0035] While aspects may be described herein using terminology commonly associated with a 5G or New Radio (NR) radio access technology (RAT), aspects of the present disclosure can be applied to other RATs, such as a 3G RAT, a 4G RAT, and/or a RAT subsequent to 5G (e.g., 6G).

[0036] Fig. 1 is a diagram illustrating an example of a wireless network 100, in accordance with the present disclosure. The wireless network 100 may be or may include elements of a 5G (e.g., NR) network and/or a 4G (e.g., Long Term Evolution (LTE)) network, among other examples. The wireless network 100 may include one or more base stations 110 (shown as a BS 110a, a BS 110b, a BS 110c, and a BS 1 lOd), a user equipment (UE) 120 or multiple UEs 120 (shown as a UE 120a, a UE 120b, a UE 120c, a UE 120d, and a UE 120e), and/or other network entities. A base station 110 is an entity that communicates with UEs 120. A base station 110 (sometimes referred to as a BS) may include, for example, an NR base station, an LTE base station, a Node B, an eNB (e.g., in 4G), a gNB (e.g., in 5G), an access point, and/or a transmission reception point (TRP). Each base station 110 may provide communication coverage for a particular geographic area. In the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), the term “cell” can refer to a coverage area of a base station 110 and/or a base station subsystem serving this coverage area, depending on the context in which the term is used.

[0037] A base station 110 may provide communication coverage for a macro cell, a pico cell, a femto cell, and/or another type of cell. A macro cell may cover a relatively large geographic area (e.g., several kilometers in radius) and may allow unrestricted access by UEs 120 with service subscriptions. A pico cell may cover a relatively small geographic area and may allow unrestricted access by UEs 120 with service subscription. A femto cell may cover a relatively small geographic area (e.g., a home) and may allow restricted access by UEs 120 having association with the femto cell (e.g., UEs 120 in a closed subscriber group (CSG)). A base station 110 for a macro cell may be referred to as a macro base station. A base station 110 for a pico cell may be referred to as a pico base station. A base station 110 for a femto cell may be referred to as a femto base station or an in-home base station. In the example shown in Fig. 1, the BS 110a may be a macro base station for a macro cell 102a, the BS 110b may be a pico base station for a pico cell 102b, and the BS 110c may be a femto base station for a femto cell 102c. A base station may support one or multiple (e.g., three) cells.

[0038] In some examples, a cell may not necessarily be stationary, and the geographic area of the cell may move according to the location of a base station 110 that is mobile (e.g., a mobile base station). In some examples, the base stations 110 may be interconnected to one another and/or to one or more other base stations 110 or network nodes (not shown) in the wireless network 100 through various types of backhaul interfaces, such as a direct physical connection or a virtual network, using any suitable transport network.

[0039] The wireless network 100 may include one or more relay stations. A relay station is an entity that can receive a transmission of data from an upstream station (e.g., a base station 110 or a UE 120) and send a transmission of the data to a downstream station (e.g., a UE 120 or a base station 110). A relay station may be a UE 120 that can relay transmissions for other UEs 120. In the example shown in Fig. 1, the BS 1 lOd (e.g., a relay base station) may communicate with the BS 110a (e.g., a macro base station) and the UE 120d in order to facilitate communication between the BS 110a and the UE 120d. A base station 110 that relays communications may be referred to as a relay station, a relay base station, a relay, or the like.

[0040] The wireless network 100 may be a heterogeneous network that includes base stations 110 of different types, such as macro base stations, pico base stations, femto base stations, relay base stations, or the like. These different types of base stations 110 may have different transmit power levels, different coverage areas, and/or different impacts on interference in the wireless network 100. For example, macro base stations may have a high transmit power level (e.g., 5 to 40 watts) whereas pico base stations, femto base stations, and relay base stations may have lower transmit power levels (e.g., 0. 1 to 2 watts).

[0041] A network controller 130 may couple to or communicate with a set of base stations 110 and may provide coordination and control for these base stations 110. The network controller 130 may communicate with the base stations 110 via a backhaul communication link. The base stations 110 may communicate with one another directly or indirectly via a wireless or wireline backhaul communication link.

[0042] The UEs 120 may be dispersed throughout the wireless network 100, and each UE 120 may be stationary or mobile. A UE 120 may include, for example, an access terminal, a terminal, a mobile station, and/or a subscriber unit. A UE 120 may be a cellular phone (e.g., a smart phone), a personal digital assistant (PDA), a wireless modem, a wireless communication device, a handheld device, a laptop computer, a cordless phone, a wireless local loop (WLL) station, a tablet, a camera, a gaming device, a netbook, a smartbook, an ultrabook, a medical device, a biometric device, a wearable device (e.g., a smart watch, smart clothing, smart glasses, a smart wristband, smart jewelry (e.g., a smart ring or a smart bracelet)), an entertainment device (e.g., a music device, a video device, and/or a satellite radio), a vehicular component or sensor, a smart meter/sensor, industrial manufacturing equipment, a global positioning system device, and/or any other suitable device that is configured to communicate via a wireless medium.

[0043] Some UEs 120 may be considered machine-type communication (MTC) or evolved or enhanced machine-type communication (eMTC) UEs. An MTC UE and/or an eMTC UE may include, for example, a robot, a drone, a remote device, a sensor, a meter, a monitor, and/or a location tag, that may communicate with a base station, another device (e.g., a remote device), or some other entity. Some UEs 120 may be considered Intemet-of-Things (loT) devices, and/or may be implemented as NB-IoT (narrowband loT) devices. Some UEs 120 may be considered a Customer Premises Equipment. A UE 120 may be included inside a housing that houses components of the UE 120, such as processor components and/or memory components. In some examples, the processor components and the memory components may be coupled together. For example, the processor components (e.g., one or more processors) and the memory components (e.g., a memory) may be operatively coupled, communicatively coupled, electronically coupled, and/or electrically coupled.

[0044] In general, any number of wireless networks 100 may be deployed in a given geographic area. Each wireless network 100 may support a particular RAT and may operate on one or more frequencies. A RAT may be referred to as a radio technology, an air interface, or the like. A frequency may be referred to as a carrier, a frequency channel, or the like. Each frequency may support a single RAT in a given geographic area in order to avoid interference between wireless networks of different RATs. In some cases, NR or 5G RAT networks may be deployed.

[0045] In some examples, two or more UEs 120 (e.g., shown as UE 120a and UE 120e) may communicate directly using one or more sidelink channels (e.g., without using a base station 110 as an intermediary to communicate with one another). For example, the UEs 120 may communicate using peer-to-peer (P2P) communications, device-to-device (D2D) communications, a vehicle-to-everything (V2X) protocol (e.g., which may include a vehicle-to- vehicle (V2V) protocol, a vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) protocol, or a vehicle-to-pedestrian (V2P) protocol), and/or a mesh network. In such examples, a UE 120 may perform scheduling operations, resource selection operations, and/or other operations described elsewhere herein as being performed by the base station 110.

[0046] Devices of the wireless network 100 may communicate using the electromagnetic spectrum, which may be subdivided by frequency or wavelength into various classes, bands, channels, or the like. For example, devices of the wireless network 100 may communicate using one or more operating bands. In 5G NR, two initial operating bands have been identified as frequency range designations FR1 (410 MHz - 7.125 GHz) and FR2 (24.25 GHz - 52.6 GHz). It should be understood that although a portion of FR1 is greater than 6 GHz, FR1 is often referred to (interchangeably) as a “Sub-6 GHz” band in various documents and articles. A similar nomenclature issue sometimes occurs with regard to FR2, which is often referred to (interchangeably) as a “millimeter wave” band in documents and articles, despite being different from the extremely high frequency (EHF) band (30 GHz - 300 GHz) which is identified by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) as a “millimeter wave” band.

[0047] The frequencies between FR1 and FR2 are often referred to as mid-band frequencies. Recent 5G NR studies have identified an operating band for these mid-band frequencies as frequency range designation FR3 (7. 125 GHz - 24.25 GHz). Frequency bands falling within FR3 may inherit FR1 characteristics and/or FR2 characteristics, and thus may effectively extend features of FR1 and/or FR2 into mid-band frequencies. In addition, higher frequency bands are currently being explored to extend 5G NR operation beyond 52.6 GHz. For example, three higher operating bands have been identified as frequency range designations FR4a or FR4-1 (52.6 GHz - 71 GHz), FR4 (52.6 GHz - 114.25 GHz), and FR5 (114.25 GHz - 300 GHz). Each of these higher frequency bands falls within the EHF band.

[0048] With the above examples in mind, unless specifically stated otherwise, it should be understood that the term “sub-6 GHz” or the like, if used herein, may broadly represent frequencies that may be less than 6 GHz, may be within FR1, or may include mid-band frequencies. Further, unless specifically stated otherwise, it should be understood that the term “millimeter wave” or the like, if used herein, may broadly represent frequencies that may include mid-band frequencies, may be within FR2, FR4, FR4-a or FR4-1, and/or FR5, or may be within the EHF band. It is contemplated that the frequencies included in these operating bands (e.g., FR1, FR2, FR3, FR4, FR4-a, FR4-1, and/or FR5) may be modified, and techniques described herein are applicable to those modified frequency ranges.

[0049] In some aspects, the base station may include a communication manager 150. As described in more detail elsewhere herein, the communication manager 150 may transmit a configuration associated with beam-based measurement reporting for a candidate cell group, wherein the candidate cell group is configured for layer 1 (Ll)/layer 2 (L2) mobility, and wherein the candidate cell group includes a deactivated cell; and may receive a message indicating a beam-based measurement for the deactivated cell according to the configuration. [0050] In some aspects, as described in more detail elsewhere herein, the communication manager 150 may transmit a configuration for user equipment (UE)-triggered beam-based measurement reporting, the configuration indicating that a beam-based measurement report is transmitted by a UE based at least in part on a condition associated with beam-based measurement reporting being satisfied; and may receive the beam-based measurement report based at least in part on the condition being satisfied. Additionally, or alternatively, the communication manager 150 may perform one or more other operations described herein. [0051] In some aspects, the UE 120 may include a communication manager 140. As described in more detail elsewhere herein, the communication manager 140 may receive a configuration associated with beam-based measurement reporting for a candidate cell group, wherein the candidate cell group is configured for L1/L2 mobility, and wherein the candidate cell group includes a deactivated cell; and transmit a message indicating an LI measurement for the deactivated cell according to the configuration.

[0052] In some aspects, as described in more detail elsewhere herein, the communication manager 140 may determine that a condition associated with beam -based measurement reporting is satisfied; and may transmit a beam-based measurement report based at least in part on the condition being satisfied. Additionally, or alternatively, the communication manager 140 may perform one or more other operations described herein.

[0053] As described herein, a node, which may be referred to as a “node,” a “network node,” or a “wireless node,” may be a base station (e.g., base station 110), a UE (e.g., UE 120), a relay device, a network controller, an apparatus, a device, a computing system, one or more components of any of these, and/or another processing entity configured to perform one or more aspects of the techniques described herein. For example, a network node may be a UE. As another example, a network node may be a base station. As an example, a first network node may be configured to communicate with a second network node or a third network node. The adjectives “first,” “second,” “third,” and so on are used for contextual distinction between two or more of the modified noun in connection with a discussion and are not meant to be absolute modifiers that apply only to a certain respective node throughout the entire document. For example, a network node may be referred to as a “first network node” in connection with one discussion and may be referred to as a “second network node” in connection with another discussion, or vice versa. Reference to a UE, base station, apparatus, device, computing system, or the like may include disclosure of the UE, base station, apparatus, device, computing system, or the like being a network node. For example, disclosure that a UE is configured to receive information from a base station also discloses that a first network node is configured to receive information from a second network node. Consistent with this disclosure, once a specific example is broadened in accordance with this disclosure (e.g., a UE is configured to receive information from a base station also discloses that a first network node is configured to receive information from a second network node), the broader example of the narrower example may be interpreted in the reverse, but in a broad open-ended way. In the example above where a UE being configured to receive information from a base station also discloses a first network node being configured to receive information from a second network node, “first network node” may refer to a first UE, a first base station, a first apparatus, a first device, a first computing system, a first one or more components, a first processing entity, or the like configured to receive the information from the second network; and “second network node” may refer to a second UE, a second base station, a second apparatus, a second device, a second computing system, a second one or more components, a second processing entity, or the like.

[0054] As indicated above, Fig. 1 is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from what is described with regard to Fig. 1.

[0055] Fig. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example 200 of a base station 110 in communication with a UE 120 in a wireless network 100, in accordance with the present disclosure. The base station 110 may be equipped with a set of antennas 234a through 234t, such as T antennas (T> 1). The UE 120 may be equipped with a set of antennas 252a through 252r, such as R antennas (R > 1).

[0056] At the base station 110, a transmit processor 220 may receive data, from a data source 212, intended for the UE 120 (or a set of UEs 120). The transmit processor 220 may select one or more modulation and coding schemes (MCSs) for the UE 120 based at least in part on one or more channel quality indicators (CQIs) received from that UE 120. The base station 110 may process (e.g., encode and modulate) the data for the UE 120 based at least in part on the MCS(s) selected for the UE 120 and may provide data symbols for the UE 120. The transmit processor 220 may process system information (e.g., for semi-static resource partitioning information (SRPI)) and control information (e.g., CQI requests, grants, and/or upper layer signaling) and provide overhead symbols and control symbols. The transmit processor 220 may generate reference symbols for reference signals (e.g., a cell-specific reference signal (CRS) or a demodulation reference signal (DMRS)) and synchronization signals (e.g., a primary synchronization signal (PSS) or a secondary synchronization signal (SSS)). A transmit (TX) multiple -input multiple -output (MIMO) processor 230 may perform spatial processing (e.g., precoding) on the data symbols, the control symbols, the overhead symbols, and/or the reference symbols, if applicable, and may provide a set of output symbol streams (e.g., T output symbol streams) to a corresponding set of modems 232 (e.g., T modems), shown as modems 232a through 232t. For example, each output symbol stream may be provided to a modulator component (shown as MOD) of a modem 232. Each modem 232 may use a respective modulator component to process a respective output symbol stream (e.g., for OFDM) to obtain an output sample stream. Each modem 232 may further use a respective modulator component to process (e.g., convert to analog, amplify, filter, and/or upconvert) the output sample stream to obtain a downlink signal. The modems 232a through 232t may transmit a set of downlink signals (e.g., T downlink signals) via a corresponding set of antennas 234 (e.g., T antennas), shown as antennas 234a through 234t.

[0057] At the UE 120, a set of antennas 252 (shown as antennas 252a through 252r) may receive the downlink signals from the base station 110 and/or other base stations 110 and may provide a set of received signals (e.g., R received signals) to a set of modems 254 (e.g., R modems), shown as modems 254a through 254r. For example, each received signal may be provided to a demodulator component (shown as DEMOD) of a modem 254. Each modem 254 may use a respective demodulator component to condition (e.g., filter, amplify, downconvert, and/or digitize) a received signal to obtain input samples. Each modem 254 may use a demodulator component to further process the input samples (e.g., for OFDM) to obtain received symbols. A MIMO detector 256 may obtain received symbols from the modems 254, may perform MIMO detection on the received symbols if applicable, and may provide detected symbols. A receive processor 258 may process (e.g., demodulate and decode) the detected symbols, may provide decoded data for the UE 120 to a data sink 260, and may provide decoded control information and system information to a controller/processor 280. The term “controller/processor” may refer to one or more controllers, one or more processors, or a combination thereof. A channel processor may determine a reference signal received power (RSRP) parameter, a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) parameter, a reference signal received quality (RSRQ) parameter, and/or a CQI parameter, among other examples. In some examples, one or more components of the UE 120 may be included in a housing 284.

[0058] The network controller 130 may include a communication unit 294, a controller/processor 290, and a memory 292. The network controller 130 may include, for example, one or more devices in a core network. The network controller 130 may communicate with the base station 110 via the communication unit 294.

[0059] One or more antennas (e.g., antennas 234a through 234t and/or antennas 252a through 252r) may include, or may be included within, one or more antenna panels, one or more antenna groups, one or more sets of antenna elements, and/or one or more antenna arrays, among other examples. An antenna panel, an antenna group, a set of antenna elements, and/or an antenna array may include one or more antenna elements (within a single housing or multiple housings), a set of coplanar antenna elements, a set of non-coplanar antenna elements, and/or one or more antenna elements coupled to one or more transmission and/or reception components, such as one or more components of Fig. 2.

[0060] On the uplink, at the UE 120, a transmit processor 264 may receive and process data from a data source 262 and control information (e.g., for reports that include RSRP, RSSI, RSRQ, and/or CQI) from the controller/processor 280. The transmit processor 264 may generate reference symbols for one or more reference signals. The symbols from the transmit processor 264 may be precoded by a TX MIMO processor 266 if applicable, further processed by the modems 254 (e.g., for DFT-s-OFDM or CP-OFDM), and transmitted to the base station 110. In some examples, the modem 254 of the UE 120 may include a modulator and a demodulator. In some examples, the UE 120 includes a transceiver. The transceiver may include any combination of the antenna(s) 252, the modem(s) 254, the MIMO detector 256, the receive processor 258, the transmit processor 264, and/or the TX MIMO processor 266. The transceiver may be used by a processor (e.g., the controller/processor 280) and the memory 282 to perform aspects of any of the methods described herein (e.g., with reference to Figs. 5-14). [0061] At the base station 110, the uplink signals from UE 120 and/or other UEs may be received by the antennas 234, processed by the modem 232 (e.g., a demodulator component, shown as DEMOD, of the modem 232), detected by a MIMO detector 236 if applicable, and further processed by a receive processor 238 to obtain decoded data and control information sent by the UE 120. The receive processor 238 may provide the decoded data to a data sink 239 and provide the decoded control information to the controller/processor 240. The base station 110 may include a communication unit 244 and may communicate with the network controller 130 via the communication unit 244. The base station 110 may include a scheduler 246 to schedule one or more UEs 120 for downlink and/or uplink communications. In some examples, the modem 232 of the base station 110 may include a modulator and a demodulator. In some examples, the base station 110 includes a transceiver. The transceiver may include any combination of the antenna(s) 234, the modem(s) 232, the MIMO detector 236, the receive processor 238, the transmit processor 220, and/or the TX MIMO processor 230. The transceiver may be used by a processor (e.g., the controller/processor 240) and the memory 242 to perform aspects of any of the methods described herein (e.g., with reference to Figs. 5-14).

[0062] The controller/processor 240 of the base station 110, the controller/processor 280 of the UE 120, and/or any other component(s) of Fig. 2 may perform one or more techniques associated with L1/L2 inter-cell mobility measurement reporting, as described in more detail elsewhere herein. For example, the controller/processor 240 of the base station 110, the controller/processor 280 of the UE 120, and/or any other component(s) of Fig. 2 may perform or direct operations of, for example, process 700 of Fig. 7, process 800 of Fig. 8, process 900 of Fig. 9, process 1000 of Fig. 10, and/or other processes as described herein. The memory 242 and the memory 282 may store data and program codes for the base station 110 and the UE 120, respectively. In some examples, the memory 242 and/or the memory 282 may include a non- transitory computer-readable medium storing one or more instructions (e.g., code and/or program code) for wireless communication. For example, the one or more instructions, when executed (e.g., directly, or after compiling, converting, and/or interpreting) by one or more processors of the base station 110 and/or the UE 120, may cause the one or more processors, the UE 120, and/or the base station 110 to perform or direct operations of, for example, process 700 of Fig. 7, process 800 of Fig. 8, process 900 of Fig. 9, process 1000 of Fig. 10, and/or other processes as described herein. In some examples, executing instructions may include running the instructions, converting the instructions, compiling the instructions, and/or interpreting the instructions, among other examples.

[0063] In some aspects, a network node (e.g., the base station 110) includes means for transmitting a configuration associated with beam-based measurement reporting for a candidate cell group, wherein the candidate cell group is configured for L1/L2 mobility, and wherein the candidate cell group includes a deactivated cell; and/or means for receiving a message indicating a beam-based measurement for the deactivated cell according to the configuration. In some aspects, the means for the network node to perform operations described herein may include, for example, one or more of communication manager 150, transmit processor 220, TX MIMO processor 230, modem 232, antenna 234, MIMO detector 236, receive processor 238, controller/processor 240, memory 242, or scheduler 246.

[0064] In some aspects, a network node (e.g., the base station 110) includes means for transmitting a configuration for UE-triggered beam-based measurement reporting, the configuration indicating that a beam-based measurement report is transmitted by a UE based at least in part on a condition associated with beam-based measurement reporting being satisfied; and/or means for receiving the beam-based measurement report based at least in part on the condition being satisfied. In some aspects, the means for the network node to perform operations described herein may include, for example, one or more of communication manager 150, transmit processor 220, TX MIMO processor 230, modem 232, antenna 234, MIMO detector 236, receive processor 238, controller/processor 240, memory 242, or scheduler 246.

[0065] In some aspects, a UE (e.g., the UE 120) includes means for receiving a configuration associated with LI measurement reporting for a candidate cell group, wherein the candidate cell group is configured for L1/L2 mobility, and wherein the candidate cell group includes a deactivated cell; and/or means for transmitting a message indicating an LI measurement for the deactivated cell according to the configuration. The means for the UE to perform operations described herein may include, for example, one or more of communication manager 140, antenna 252, modem 254, MIMO detector 256, receive processor 258, transmit processor 264, TX MIMO processor 266, controller/processor 280, or memory 282.

[0066] In some aspects, a UE (e.g., the UE 120) includes means for determining that a condition associated with beam-based measurement reporting is satisfied; and/or means for transmitting a beam-based measurement report based at least in part on the condition being satisfied. The means for the UE to perform operations described herein may include, for example, one or more of communication manager 140, antenna 252, modem 254, MIMO detector 256, receive processor 258, transmit processor 264, TX MIMO processor 266, controller/processor 280, or memory 282. [0067] In some aspects, the term “base station” (e.g., the base station 110) may refer to an aggregated base station, a disaggregated base station, and/or one or more components of a disaggregated base station. For example, in some aspects, “base station” may refer to a control unit, a distributed unit, a plurality of control units, a plurality of distributed units, and/or a combination thereof. In some aspects, “base station” may refer to one device configured to perform one or more functions such as those described above in connection with the base station 110. In some aspects, “base station” may refer to a plurality of devices configured to perform the one or more functions. For example, in some distributed systems, each of a number of different devices (which may be located in the same geographic location or in different geographic locations) may be configured to perform at least a portion of a function, or to duplicate performance of at least a portion of the function, and the term “base station” may refer to any one or more of those different devices. In some aspects, “base station” may refer to one or more virtual base stations, one or more virtual base station functions, and/or a combination of thereof. For example, in some cases, two or more base station functions may be instantiated on a single device. In some aspects, “base station” may refer to one of the base station functions and not another. In this way, a single device may include more than one base station.

[0068] While blocks in Fig. 2 are illustrated as distinct components, the functions described above with respect to the blocks may be implemented in a single hardware, software, or combination component or in various combinations of components. For example, the functions described with respect to the transmit processor 264, the receive processor 258, and/or the TX MIMO processor 266 may be performed by or under the control of the controller/processor 280. [0069] As indicated above, Fig. 2 is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from what is described with regard to Fig. 2.

[0070] Fig. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example 300 of an open RAN (O-RAN) architecture, in accordance with the present disclosure. As shown in Fig. 3, the O-RAN architecture may include a CU 310 that communicates with a core network 320 via a backhaul link. Furthermore, the CU 310 may communicate with one or more DUs 330 via respective midhaul links. The DUs 330 may each communicate with one or more RUs 340 via respective fronthaul links, and the RUs 340 may each communicate with respective UEs 120 via RF access links. The DUs 330 and the RUs 340 may also be referred to as O-RAN DUs (O-DUs) 330 and O-RAN RUs (O-RUs) 340, respectively.

[0071] In some aspects, the DUs 330 and the RUs 340 may be implemented according to a functional split architecture in which functionality of a base station 110 (e.g., an eNB or a gNB) is provided by a DU 330 and one or more RUs 340 that communicate over a fronthaul link. Accordingly, as described herein, a base station 110 may include a DU 330 and one or more RUs 340 that may be co-located or geographically distributed. In some aspects, the DU 330 and the associated RU(s) 340 may communicate via a fronthaul link to exchange real-time control plane information via a lower layer split (LLS) control plane (LLS-C) interface, to exchange non-real-time management information via an LLS management plane (LLS-M) interface, and/or to exchange user plane information via an LLS user plane (LLS-U) interface.

[0072] Accordingly, the DU 330 may correspond to a logical unit that includes one or more base station functions to control the operation of one or more RUs 340. For example, in some aspects, the DU 330 may host a radio link control (RLC) layer, a medium access control (MAC) layer, and one or more high physical (PHY) layers (e.g., forward error correction (FEC) encoding and decoding, scrambling, and/or modulation and demodulation) based at least in part on a lower layer functional split. Higher layer control functions, such as a packet data convergence protocol (PDCP), radio resource control (RRC), and/or service data adaptation protocol (SDAP), may be hosted by the CU 310. The RU(s) 340 controlled by a DU 330 may correspond to logical nodes that host RF processing functions and low-PHY layer functions (e.g., fast Fourier transform (FFT), inverse FFT (iFFT), digital beamforming, and/or physical random access channel (PRACH) extraction and filtering) based at least in part on the lower layer functional split. Accordingly, in an O-RAN architecture, the RU(s) 340 handle all over the air (OTA) communication with a UE 120, and real-time and non-real-time aspects of control and user plane communication with the RU(s) 340 are controlled by the corresponding DU 330, which enables the DU(s) 330 and the CU 310 to be implemented in a cloud-based RAN architecture.

[0073] As indicated above, Fig. 3 is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from what is described with regard to Fig. 3.

[0074] Figs. 4A and 4B are diagrams illustrating examples 400, 450 of L1/L2 inter-cell mobility, in accordance with the present disclosure.

[0075] In a wireless network, such as an NR network, a UE and a base station may communicate on an access link using directional links (e.g., using high-dimensional phased arrays) to benefit from a beamforming gain and/or to maintain acceptable communication quality. The directional links, however, typically require fine alignment of transmit and receive beams, which may be achieved through a set of operations referred to as beam management and/or beam selection, among other examples.

[0076] Further, a wireless network may support multi-beam operation in a relatively high carrier frequency (e.g., within FR2), which may be associated with harsher propagation conditions than comparatively lower carrier frequencies. For example, relative to a sub-6 gigahertz (GHz) band, signals propagating in a millimeter wave frequency band may suffer from increased pathloss and severe channel intermittency, and/or may be blocked by objects commonly present in an environment surrounding the UE (e.g., a building, a tree, and/or a body of a user, among other examples).

[0077] One possible enhancement for multi-beam operation in a higher carrier frequency is facilitation of efficient (e.g., low latency and low overhead) downlink and/or uplink beam management to support higher L1/L2 -centric inter-cell mobility. Accordingly, one goal for Ll/L2-centric inter-cell mobility is to enable a UE to perform a cell switch via dynamic control signaling at lower layers (e.g., downlink control information (DCI) for LI signaling or a MAC control element (MAC-CE) for L2 signaling) rather than semi-static Layer 3 (L3) RRC signaling in order to reduce latency, reduce overhead, and/or otherwise increase efficiency of the cell switch.

[0078] For example, Fig. 4A illustrates an example 400 of a first L1/L2 inter-cell mobility technique, which may be referred to as inter-cell mobility scheme 1, beam -based inter-cell mobility, dynamic point selection based inter-cell mobility, and/or non-serving cell-based intercell mobility, among other examples. As described in further detail herein, the first L1/L2 intercell mobility technique may enable a base station to use LI signaling (e.g., DCI) or L2 signaling (e.g., a MAC-CE) to indicate that a UE is to communicate on an access link using a beam from a serving cell or a non-serving cell. For example, in a wireless network where L1/L2 inter-cell mobility is not supported (e.g., cell switches are triggered only by an L3 handover), beam selection for control information and for data is typically limited to beams within a physical cell identity (PCI) associated with a serving cell. In contrast, in a wireless network that supports the first L1/L2 inter-cell mobility technique (e.g., as shown in Fig. 4A), beam selection for control and data may be expanded to include any beams within a serving cell 410 or one or more nonserving neighbor cells 415 configured for L1/L2 inter-cell mobility.

[0079] For example, in the first L1/L2 inter-cell mobility technique shown in Fig. 4A, a UE may be configured with a single serving cell 410, and the UE may be further configured with a neighbor cell set that includes one or more non-serving neighbor cells 415 configured for L1/L2 inter-cell mobility. In general, the serving cell 410 and the non-serving neighbor cells 415 that are configured for L1/L2 inter-cell mobility may be associated with a common CU and a common DU, or the serving cell 410 and the non-serving neighbor cells 415 configured for L1/L2 inter-cell mobility may be associated with a common CU and different DUs. In some aspects, as shown by reference number 420, a base station may trigger L1/L2 inter-cell mobility for a UE using L1/L2 signaling (e.g., DCI or a MAC-CE) that indicates a selected transmission configuration indication (TCI) state quasi co-located (QCLed) with a reference signal (e.g., a synchronization signal block (SSB)) associated with a PCI. For example, in Fig. 4A, the UE may be communicating with the serving cell 410 using a TCI state that is QCLed with an SSB from a PCI associated with the serving cell 410 (e.g., shown as PCI 1 in Fig. 4A), and L1/L2 signaling may trigger inter-cell mobility by indicating that the UE is to switch to communicating using a TCI state that is QCLed with an SSB from a PCI associated with a non-serving neighbor cell 415 (e.g., shown as PCI 2 in Fig. 4A). Accordingly, in the first L1/L2 inter-cell mobility technique, the base station (e.g., the common CU controlling the serving cell 410 and the nonserving neighbor cells 415) may use L1/L2 signaling to select a beam from either the serving cell 410 or a non-serving neighbor cell 415 to serve the UE.

[0080] In this way, relative to restricting L1/L2 beam selection to beams within the serving cell 410, the first L1/L2 inter-cell mobility technique may be more robust against blocking and may provide more opportunities for higher rank spatial division multiplexing across different cells. However, the first L1/L2 inter-cell mobility technique does not enable support for changing a primary cell (PCell) or a primary secondary cell (PSCell) for a UE. Rather, in the first L1/L2 inter-cell mobility technique, triggering a PCell or PSCell change is performed via a legacy L3 handover using RRC signaling. In this respect, the first L1/L2 inter-cell mobility technique is associated with a limitation that L1/L2 signaling can only be used to indicate a beam from the serving cell 410 or a configured non-serving neighbor cell 415 while the UE is in the coverage area of the serving cell 410 because L1/L2 signaling cannot be used to change the PCell or PSCell.

[0081] Accordingly, Fig. 4B illustrates an example 450 of a second L1/L2 inter-cell mobility technique, which may be referred to as inter-cell mobility scheme 2 and/or serving cell-based inter-cell mobility, among other examples. As described in further detail herein, the second L1/L2 inter-cell mobility technique may enable a base station to use L1/L2 signaling (e.g., DCI or a MAC-CE) to indicate control information associated with an activated cell set and/or a deactivated cell set and/or to indicate a change to a PCell or a PSCell within the activated cell set.

[0082] For example, as shown in Fig. 4B, the second L1/L2 inter-cell mobility technique may use mechanisms that are generally similar to carrier aggregation to enable L1/L2 inter-cell mobility, except that different cells configured for L1/L2 inter-cell mobility may be on the same carrier frequency. As shown in Fig. 4B, a base station may configure a cell set 460 for L1/L2 inter-cell mobility (e.g., using RRC signaling). As further shown, an activated cell set 465 may include one or more cells in the configured cell set 460 that are activated and ready to use for data and/or control transfer. Accordingly, in the second L1/L2 inter-cell mobility technique, a deactivated cell set may include one or more cells that are included in the cell set 460 configured for L1/L2 inter-cell mobility but are not included in the activated cell set 465. However, the cells that are included in the deactivated cell set can be readily activated, and thereby added to the activated cell set 465, using L1/L2 signaling. Accordingly, as shown by reference number 470, L1/L2 signaling can be used for mobility management of the activated cell set 465. For example, in some aspects, L1/L2 signaling can be used to activate cells within the configured cell set 460 (e.g., to add cells to the activated cell set 465), to deactivate cells in the activated cell set 465, and/or to select beams within the cells included in the activated cell set 465. In this way, the second L1/L2 inter-cell mobility technique may enable seamless mobility among the cells included in the activated cell set 465 using L1/L2 signaling (e.g., using beam management techniques).

[0083] Furthermore, as shown by reference number 475, the second L1/L2 inter-cell mobility technique enables using L1/L2 signaling to set or change a PCell or PSCell from the cells that are included in the activated cell set 465. Additionally, or alternatively, when the cell to become the new PCell or PSCell is in the deactivated cell set (e.g., is included in the cell set 460 configured for L1/L2 mobility but not the activated cell set 465), L1/L2 signaling can be used to move the cell from the deactivated cell set to the activated cell set 465 before further L1/L2 signaling is used to set the cell as the new PCell or PSCell. However, in the second L1/L2 intercell mobility techniques, an L3 handover (using RRC signaling) is used to change the PCell or PSCell when the new PCell or PSCell is not included in the cell set 460 configured for L1/L2 inter-cell mobility. In such cases, RRC signaling associated with the L3 handover may be used to update the cells included in the cell set 460 that is configured for L1/L2 inter-cell mobility.

[0084] Accordingly, as described herein, L1/L2 inter-cell mobility can provide more efficient cell switching to support multi-beam operation, enabling lower latency and reduced overhead by using LI signaling (e.g., DCI) and/or L2 signaling (e.g., a MAC-CE) rather than L3 signaling (e.g., RRC) to change the beam(s) used by a UE to transfer control information and/or data over an access link. However, L1/L2 inter-cell mobility may rely on LI measurements (e.g., beambased measurements) of the configured cell set (e.g., cell set 460) and LI measurement reporting (e.g., beam-based measurement reporting) for deactivated cells in the context of carrier aggregation is not supported. Therefore, a base station may not be able to determine whether it is beneficial to a UE to add a particular deactivated cell to the activated cell set 465. [0085] Some aspects described herein provide techniques and apparatuses for enabling LI measurement reporting (e.g., beam-based measurement reporting) for a candidate cell for L1/L2 mobility. A candidate cell for L1/L2 mobility may comprise a cell that is configured for L1/L2 mobility that can be an activated serving cell, a deactivated cell, or a non-serving cell.

[0086] As indicated above, Figs. 4A and 4B are provided as examples. Other examples may differ from what is described with regard to Figs. 4A and 4B.

[0087] Fig. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example 500 of L1/L2 inter-cell mobility measurements and reporting, in accordance with the present disclosure.

[0088] As shown in Fig. 5, a base station may include a CU 505 and a DU 510 associated with a plurality of cells. The base station may configure the plurality of cells to form a cell set 515 for L1/L2 inter-cell mobility. The configured cell set 515 (e.g., a candidate cell set for L1/L2 mobility) may include an activated serving cell set 520, a non-serving cell set 525, and a deactivated cell set 530.

[0089] As shown in Fig. 5, in some aspects, the configured cell set 515 (e.g., the activated serving cell set 520, the non-serving cell set 525, and the deactivated cell set 530) may be associated with a common CU (e.g., CU 505) and a common DU (e.g., DU 510). In some aspects, the configured cell set 515 may be associated with a common CU (e.g., CU 505) and different DUs. As an example, the CU 505 may be associated with the DU 510 and another DU (not shown). The activated serving cell set 520 may be associated with the DU 510, and one or more of the non-serving cell set 525 or the deactivated cell set 530 may be associated with the other DU.

[0090] In some aspects, the activated serving cell set 520 may include one or more cells in the configured cell set 515 that are activated and ready to be used for data and/or control transfer. The non-serving cell set 525 may include one or more cells in the configured cell set 515 that a UE may autonomously choose to add to the activated serving cell set 520. The deactivated cell set 530 may include one or more cells in the configured cell set 515 that are not included in the activated serving cell set 520 or the non-serving cell set 525.

[0091] In some aspects, a cell may be moved to and/or removed from a particular cell set using E1/L2 signaling. For example, E1/E2 signaling may be utilized to activate a deactivated cell included in the deactivated cell set 530 and/or add the activated cell to the activated serving cell set 520 or the non-serving cell set 525.

[0092] In some aspects, a single cell (e.g., a cell associated with a particular PCI) may be configured to comprise multiple activated cells (e.g., multiple cells included in the activated serving cell set 520), multiple candidate cells (e.g., multiple cells included in the non-serving cell set 525), and/or multiple deactivated cells (e.g., multiple cells included in the deactivated cell set 530). For example, a UE may have multi-carrier support and an activated cell may be associated with a group of component carriers. The activated serving cell set 520 may be configured to include a first cell (shown as Cell 2) that is associated with a first subset of the group of component carriers and a second cell (shown as Cell 2') that is associated with a second subset of the group of component carriers.

[0093] In some aspects, the base station may utilize L1/L2 signaling to set or change a PCell or PSCell from the cells that are included in the activated serving cell set 520. Additionally, or alternatively, the base station may utilize L1/L2 signaling to configure one or more cells included in the non-serving cell set 525 and/or one or more cells in the deactivated cell set 530 as a potential PCell or PSCell. In some aspects, the base station and/or a UE may utilize L1/L2 signaling to change from a PCell or PSCell included in the activated serving cell set 520 to a potential PCell or PSCell included in the non-serving cell set 525 and/or the deactivated cell set 530 based at least in part on one or more LI measurements reported to the base station by the UE, as described in greater detail elsewhere herein.

[0094] As indicated above, Fig. 5 is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from what is described with respect to Fig. 5.

[0095] Fig. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example 600 associated with L1/L2 inter-cell mobility measurement reporting, in accordance with the present disclosure. As shown in Fig. 6, example 600 includes communication between a network node 605 (e.g., one or more components of a base station 110) and a UE 120. In some aspects, the UE 120 and the network node 605 may be included in a wireless network, such as wireless network 100. The UE 120 and the network node 605 may communicate via a wireless access link, which may include an uplink and a downlink. Furthermore, as described herein, the wireless network in which the UE 120 and the network node 605 communicate may support one or more L1/L2 inter-cell mobility techniques described elsewhere herein.

[0096] As shown by reference number 610, the network node 605 may transmit, and the UE 120 may receive, signaling (e.g., RRC signaling) that configures one or more cells for L1/L2 inter-cell mobility (e.g., an L1/L2 inter-cell mobility configuration) and configures LI measurement reporting by the UE 120 (e.g., an LI measurement reporting configuration). In some aspects, the network node 605 may transmit signaling that configures a set of cells for L1/L2 inter-cell mobility, as described elsewhere herein.

[0097] In some aspects, the L1/L2 inter-cell mobility configuration may configure an activated serving cell set, a non-serving cell set, and/or a deactivated cell set, as described elsewhere herein. In some aspects, the L1/L2 inter-cell mobility configuration may be based at least in part on a capability of the UE 120. For example, the UE 120 may transmit (e.g., via RRC signaling) capability information indicating a capability of the UE 120 to support L1/L2 inter-cell mobility and/or one or more L1/L2 inter-cell mobility techniques (e.g., one or more L1/L2 inter-cell mobility techniques described above with respect to Figs. 4A, 4B, and 5).

[0098] In some aspects, the LI measurement reporting configuration may indicate one or more cells and/or one or more groups of cells included in the configured cell set for which LI measurements are to be performed and/or for which LI measurement reporting is to be performed. For example, the LI measurement reporting configuration may indicate that Ll- signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) measurements, LI -reference signal received power (RSRP) measurements, and/or LI measurement reporting is to be performed for one or more cells included in the activated serving cell set, one or more cells included in the nonserving cell set, and/or one or more cells included in the deactivated cell set.

[0099] In some aspects, the LI measurement reporting configuration may indicate a method for determining the one or more cells included in the activated serving cell set, the non-serving cell set, and/or the deactivated cell set. For example, the LI measurement reporting configuration may indicate that the one or more cells included in the activated serving cell set, the non-serving cell set, and/or the deactivated cell set correspond to one or more cells included in the activated serving cell set, the non-serving cell set, and/or the deactivated cell set at a time at which the LI measurement reporting is transmitted to the network node 605, a time at which the LI measurement is obtained, a fixed set of cells irrespective of a cell set in which the cells are included, and/or as indicated in the L1/L2 inter-cell mobility configuration, among other examples.

[0100] In some aspects, the LI measurement reporting configuration may indicate one or more resources for transmitting an LI measurement report. In some aspects, the LI measurement reporting configuration may indicate that LI measurement reporting is to be transmitted periodically to the network node 605. In some aspects, the LI measurement reporting configuration may indicate one or more resources (e.g., one or more physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) resources) for periodically transmitting the LI measurement reporting.

[0101] In some aspects, the LI measurement reporting configuration may indicate that the LI measurement reporting is semi-persistent LI measurement reporting. For example, the LI measurement reporting configuration may indicate that the LI measurement reporting is triggered based at least in part on receiving an activation command for transmission on a PUCCH and/or DCI triggered for transmission on a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH). [0102] In some aspects, the LI measurement reporting configuration may indicate that the LI measurement reporting is aperiodic LI measurement reporting. For example, the LI measurement reporting configuration may indicate that the LI measurement reporting is triggered based at least in part on receiving DCI scheduling a PUSCH for transmitting the LI measurement reporting.

[0103] In some aspects, the LI measurement reporting configuration may indicate that the LI measurement reporting is measurement triggered aperiodic LI measurement reporting. For example, the LI measurement reporting configuration may indicate that LI measurement reporting is transmitted based at least in part on an occurrence of a measurement event. In some aspects, the measurement event may include an LI measurement for an activated cell, an LI measurement for a candidate cell, and/or an LI measurement for a deactivated cell satisfying a measurement threshold (e.g., being greater than a measurement threshold, being less than a measurement threshold, or crossing a measurement threshold, among other examples).

[0104] In some aspects, the measurement event may include an LI measurement for a first cell (e.g., an activated serving cell, a non-serving cell, and/or a deactivated cell) being greater than (or less than) an LI measurement for a second cell (e.g., another activated serving cell, a cell configured as a PCell for the UE 120, a cell configured as a PSCell for the UE 120, a nonserving cell, and/or a deactivated cell). For example, the LI measurement reporting configuration may indicate that LI measurement reporting is transmitted to the network node 605 based at least in part on an LI measurement for a deactivated cell being at least an offset different from (e.g., greater or lesser than) an LI measurement for an activated serving cell (e.g., a PCell and/or a PSCell).

[0105] In some aspects, the measurement event may include multiple measurement events. For example, the LI measurement reporting configuration may indicate that LI measurement reporting is transmitted to the network node 605 based at least in part on an LI measurement associated with an activated serving cell (e.g., an activated serving cell configured as a PCell) satisfying a first threshold and an LI measurement associated with a non-serving cell (e.g., a non-serving cell configured as a candidate PCell) and/or a deactivated cell (e.g., a deactivated cell configured as a candidate PCell) satisfying a second threshold. The first threshold may be the same as, or different from, the second threshold.

[0106] In some aspects, the LI measurement reporting configuration may indicate that the measurement event is associated with modifying the configured set of cells. For example, the LI measurement reporting configuration may indicate that the measurement event is associated with deactivating an activated serving cell and moving the deactivated cell from the activated serving cell set to the deactivated cell set, activating a deactivated cell and moving the activated serving cell from the deactivated cell set to the activated serving cell set, activating a deactivated cell and moving the activated cell from the deactivated cell set to the non-serving cell set, and/or moving a non-serving cell from the non-serving cell set to the activated serving cell set. Additionally, or alternatively, the LI measurement reporting configuration may indicate that the measurement event is associated with changing a PCell and/or a PSCell to a candidate PCell and/or a candidate PSCell.

[0107] In some aspects, the LI measurement reporting configuration may indicate an LI measurement reporting format. The LI measurement reporting format may indicate a type of cell (e.g., an activated serving cell, a deactivated cell, a non-serving cell, a PCell, a candidate PCell, a PSCell, and/or a candidate PSCell) and/or a type of LI measurement data (e.g., an Ll- RSRP measurement, an Ll-SINR measurement, a filtered measurement across multiple beams, among other examples) associated with the LI measurement reporting.

[0108] In some aspects, the LI measurement reporting configuration may indicate that the LI measurement reporting format corresponds to a mixed activated and deactivated cell report. In some aspects, the LI measurement reporting configuration may indicate that the mixed activated and deactivated cell report includes LI measurement data for one or more activated serving cells and one or more deactivated cells. In some aspects, the LI measurement reporting configuration may indicate that the mixed activated and deactivated cell report includes LI measurement data for one or more non-serving cells and one or more deactivated cells.

[0109] In some aspects, the LI measurement reporting configuration may indicate that the LI measurement reporting format corresponds to an activated serving cell report. In some aspects, the LI measurement reporting configuration may indicate that the activated serving cell report includes LI measurement data for one or more activated serving cells.

[0110] In some aspects, the LI measurement reporting configuration may indicate that the LI measurement reporting format corresponds to a non-serving cell report. In some aspects, the LI measurement reporting configuration may indicate that the non-serving cell report includes LI measurement data for one or more cells included in the non-serving cell set.

[OHl] In some aspects, the LI measurement reporting configuration may indicate that the LI measurement reporting format corresponds to a deactivated cell report. In some aspects, the LI measurement reporting configuration may indicate that the deactivated cell report includes LI measurement data for one or more deactivated cells.

[0112] In some aspects, the LI measurement reporting configuration may indicate multiple LI measurement reporting formats. For example, the LI measurement reporting configuration may indicate that the UE 120 is to transmit first LI measurement reporting corresponding to an activated serving cell report and second LI measurement reporting corresponding to a deactivated cell report.

[0113] In some aspects, the LI measurement reporting configuration may indicate one or more other parameters associated with the LI measurement reporting. For example, the LI measurement reporting configuration may indicate a frequency at which activated serving cell reports are transmitted, a frequency at which non-serving cell reports are transmitted, a frequency at which deactivated cell reports are transmitted, a frequency at which mixed activated and deactivated cell reports are transmitted, one or more beams per reported PCI, a reporting quantity associated with Ll-RSRP measurement data, a reporting quantity associated with Ll-SINR measurement data, a quantity of filtered measurements across multiple beams for a cell, and/or differential reporting data with respect to a largest measurement value across reported PCIs, among other examples.

[0114] As shown by reference number 615, the UE 120 may obtain LI measurement data for one or more cells included in the configured cell set according to the L1/L2 inter-cell mobility configuration and/or the LI measurement reporting configuration. As shown by reference number 620, the UE 120 may transmit the LI measurement reporting to the network node 605 according to the L1/L2 inter-cell mobility configuration and/or the LI measurement reporting configuration. [0115] As shown by reference number 625, the network node 605 and the UE 120 may communicate via L1/L2 signaling to modify the configured cell set based at least in part on the LI measurement reporting. For example, based at least in part on LI measurement data included in the LI measurement reporting, the network node 605 and/or the UE 120 may utilize L1/L2 signaling to change a PCell associated with the UE 120, to activate a deactivated cell, to deactivate an activated serving cell, to move a cell from the activated serving cell set to the nonserving cell set, and/or to move a cell from the non-serving cell set to the activated serving cell.

[0116] As indicated above, Fig. 6 is provided as an example. Other examples may differ from what is described with respect to Fig. 6.

[0117] Fig. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example process 700 performed, for example, by a network node, in accordance with the present disclosure.

[0249] The foregoing disclosure provides illustration and description but is not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the aspects to the precise forms disclosed. Modifications and variations may be made in light of the above disclosure or may be acquired from practice of the aspects. [0250] As used herein, the term “component” is intended to be broadly construed as hardware and/or a combination of hardware and software. “Software” shall be construed broadly to mean instructions, instruction sets, code, code segments, program code, programs, subprograms, software modules, applications, software applications, software packages, routines, subroutines, objects, executables, threads of execution, procedures, and/or functions, among other examples, whether referred to as software, firmware, middleware, microcode, hardware description language, or otherwise. As used herein, a “processor” is implemented in hardware and/or a combination of hardware and software. It will be apparent that systems and/or methods described herein may be implemented in different forms of hardware and/or a combination of hardware and software. The actual specialized control hardware or software code used to implement these systems and/or methods is not limiting of the aspects. Thus, the operation and behavior of the systems and/or methods are described herein without reference to specific software code, since those skilled in the art will understand that software and hardware can be designed to implement the systems and/or methods based, at least in part, on the description herein.

[0251] As used herein, “satisfying a threshold” may, depending on the context, refer to a value being greater than the threshold, greater than or equal to the threshold, less than the threshold, less than or equal to the threshold, equal to the threshold, not equal to the threshold, or the like. [0252] Even though particular combinations of features are recited in the claims and/or disclosed in the specification, these combinations are not intended to limit the disclosure of various aspects. Many of these features may be combined in ways not specifically recited in the claims and/or disclosed in the specification. The disclosure of various aspects includes each dependent claim in combination with every other claim in the claim set. As used herein, a phrase referring to “at least one of’ a list of items refers to any combination of those items, including single members. As an example, “at least one of: a, b, or c” is intended to cover a, b, c, a + b, a + c, b + c, and a + b + c, as well as any combination with multiples of the same element (e.g., a + a, a + a + a, a + a + b, a + a + c, a + b + b, a + c + c, b + b, b + b + b, b + b + c, c + c, and c + c + c, or any other ordering of a, b, and c).

[0253] No element, act, or instruction used herein should be construed as critical or essential unless explicitly described as such. Also, as used herein, the articles “a” and “an” are intended to include one or more items and may be used interchangeably with “one or more.” Further, as used herein, the article “the” is intended to include one or more items referenced in connection with the article “the” and may be used interchangeably with “the one or more.” Furthermore, as used herein, the terms “set” and “group” are intended to include one or more items and may be used interchangeably with “one or more.” Where only one item is intended, the phrase “only one” or similar language is used. Also, as used herein, the terms “has,” “have,” “having,” or the like are intended to be open-ended terms that do not limit an element that they modify (e.g., an element “having” A may also have B). Further, the phrase “based on” is intended to mean “based, at least in part, on” unless explicitly stated otherwise. Also, as used herein, the term “or” is intended to be inclusive when used in a series and may be used interchangeably with “and/or,” unless explicitly stated otherwise (e.g., if used in combination with “either” or “only one of’).
