ADAPTING MOBILITY UNDER DISCONTINUOUS COVERAGE

Abstract: systems, methods, and instrumentalities are described herein for adapting mobility under discontinuous coverage (e.g., associated with gap(s) in coverage). in examples, a wtru may determine the start and duration of discontinuous coverage. discontinuous coverage may be explicitly indicated in si (e.g., start utc 10:00+90 s). the determination of the start and duration of discontinuous coverage may be implicitly determined via assistance information broadcasted in a si cell stop time and a neighboring cell start time. the start and duration of discontinuous coverage may be calculated via location information (e.g., the distance between the wtru and serving/neighboring cell center and the diameter of cell coverage). the wtru may report it is about to enter a coverage gap at some configured offset from time (e.g., via a timer) of the coverage gap.
