INTER-CELL BEAM MANAGEMENT CELL SWITCH - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for patent application number 18191666 Titled 'INTER-CELL BEAM MANAGEMENT CELL SWITCH'
Simplified Explanation
This abstract describes methods and apparatuses for facilitating serving cell changes in a wireless communications network. It focuses on the user equipment (UE), which includes a transceiver and a processor. The transceiver receives a transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state identifier (ID) associated with a target serving cell and a cell switch command. In response to the cell switch command, the UE transmits a channel conveying a positive hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK). The processor, based on the cell switch command, performs a cell switch at a specific time, which is determined by a slot that starts after a cell switch application time from the last symbol of the channel conveying the positive HARQ-ACK.
Original Abstract Submitted
Methods and apparatuses for methods and apparatuses for facilitating serving cell changes based on signaling related to beam management procedures in a wireless communications network. A user equipment (UE) comprises a transceiver and a processor operably coupled to the transceiver. The transceiver is configured to receive a transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state identifier (ID) associated with a target serving cell, receive a cell switch command, and transmit, in response to reception of the cell switch command, a channel conveying a positive hybrid automatic repeat request acknowledgement (HARQ-ACK). The processor is configured to perform, based on the cell switch command, a cell switch at a time, wherein the time corresponds to a slot that starts after a cell switch application time from a last symbol of the channel conveying the positive HARQ-ACK.
