Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure provide a method for wireless communications by a user equipment (UE). The method generally includes receiving radio resource control (RRC) signaling indicating a set of cells that support physical (PHY) layer or medium access control (MAC) layer mobility signaling, receiving at least one MAC control element (CE) indicating mobility information for the set of cells, and updating one or more features of the set of cells based on the MAC CE.
Claims30
A method for wireless communications by a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- receiving radio resource control (RRC) signaling indicating a set of cells that support physical (PHY) layer or medium access control (MAC) layer mobility signaling;
- receiving at least one MAC control element (CE) indicating mobility information for the set of cells;
- and
- updating one or more features of the set of cells based on the MAC CE.
A method for wireless communications by a network entity, comprising:
- sending a user equipment (UE) radio resource control (RRC) signaling indicating a set of cells that support physical (PHY) layer or medium access control (MAC) layer mobility signaling;
- sending the UE at least one MAC control element (CE) indicating mobility information for the set of cells;
- and
- communicating with the UE via a subset of the cells that are activated with one or more features of the set of cells based on the MAC CE.
An apparatus for wireless communications by a user equipment (UE), comprising:
- a receiver configured to receive radio resource control (RRC) signaling indicating a set of cells that support physical (PHY) layer or medium access control (MAC) layer mobility signaling and at least one MAC control element (CE) indicating mobility information for the set of cells;
- and
- at least one processor configured to update one or more features of the set of cells based on the MAC CE.
An apparatus for wireless communications by a network entity, comprising:
- a transmitter configured to send a user equipment (UE) radio resource control (RRC) signaling indicating a set of cells that support physical (PHY) layer or medium access control (MAC) layer mobility signaling and to send the UE at least one MAC control element (CE) indicating mobility information for the set of cells;
- and
- at least one processor configured to communicate with the UE via a subset of the cells that are activated with one or more features of the set of cells based on the MAC CE.
