Original Abstract Submitted

A method for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE) and related apparatus are provided. In the method, the UE receives a configuration of a set of cells configured for layer 1 (L1) or layer 2 (L2) inter-cell mobility. The UE further transmits a special cell (SpCell) update message in response to an SpCell change condition on the first SpCell in the set of cells for the L1 or L2 inter-cell mobility. The SpCell change condition may include a beam failure on the first SpCell. The method improves the quality of service, beam reliability, and resource utilization of wireless communication, and reduces latency and power consumption of wireless communication.
