Original Abstract Submitted
Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described that provide for a user equipment (UE) to be configured to perform beam prediction for one or more unmeasured beams of a set of beams configured for lower-layer triggered mobility (LTM). A UE may receive configuration information from a network entity that configures LTM using predicted beam measurements, and may initiate mobility from a first cell to a second cell based at least in part on the predicted beam measurements. The UE may transmit to the second cell directly to initiate mobility, or may transmit one or more beam reports to the first cell to initiate mobility. A relatively low confidence level of a prediction may trigger transmission of one or more aperiodic on-demand reference signals from a candidate cell. A UE may also transmit a capability indication of UE capabilities related to beam prediction for LTM.
