Abstract
A method and apparatus are disclosed. In an example from the perspective of a User Equipment (UE), the UE receives, from a first cell, a first signaling indicative of a configuration of a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) of a second cell. The UE receives, from the first cell, a second signaling indicative of switching a Special Cell (SpCell) of the UE to the second cell, wherein the second signaling includes a PDCCH signaling and/or a Medium Access Control (MAC) Control Element (CE). The UE monitors the PDCCH of the second cell in response to receiving the second signaling.
Claims20
A method of a User Equipment (UE), the method comprising:
- receiving, from a first cell, a first signaling indicative of a configuration of a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) of a second cell and a set of Transmission Configuration Indicator (TCI) states of the second cell;
- receiving, from the first cell, a Medium Access Control (MAC) Control Element (CE) indicative of (i) switching a Special Cell (SpCell) of the UE to the second cell, (ii) one or more TCI states of the set of TCI states indicated by the first signaling and (iii) timing advance (TA) information associated with the second cell to which the MAC CE is indicative switching the SpCell of the UE;
- and
- monitoring the PDCCH of the second cell, via the one or more TCI states indicated by the MAC CE and based on the configuration of the PDCCH indicated by the first signaling, in response to receiving the MAC CE indicative of switching the SpCell of the UE to the second cell.
A User Equipment (UE), comprising:
- a control circuit;
- a processor installed in the control circuit;
- and
- a memory installed in the control circuit and operatively coupled to the processor, wherein the processor is configured to execute a program code stored in the memory to perform operations, the operations comprising:
- receiving, from a first cell, a first signaling indicative of a configuration of a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) of a second cell and a set of Transmission Configuration Indicator (TCI) states of the second cell;
- receiving, from the first cell, a Medium Access Control (MAC) Control Element (CE) indicative of (i) switching a Special Cell (SpCell) of the UE to the second cell, (ii) one or more TCI states of the set of TCI states indicated by the first signaling and (iii) timing advance (TA) information associated with the second cell to which the MAC CE is indicative switching the SpCell of the UE;
- and
- monitoring the PDCCH of the second cell, via the one or more TCI states indicated by the MAC CE and based on the configuration of the PDCCH indicated by the first signaling, in response to receiving the MAC CE indicative of switching the SpCell of the UE to the second cell.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising processor-executable instructions that when executed by a User Equipment (UE) cause performance of operations, the operations comprising:
- receiving, from a first cell, a first signaling indicative of a configuration of a Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) of a second cell and a set of Transmission Configuration Indicator (TCI) states of the second cell;
- receiving, from the first cell, a Medium Access Control (MAC) Control Element (CE) indicative of (i) switching a Special Cell (SpCell) of the UE to the second cell, (ii) one or more TCI states of the set of TCI states indicated by the first signaling and (iii) timing advance (TA) information associated with the second cell to which the MAC CE is indicative switching the SpCell of the UE;
- and
- monitoring the PDCCH of the second cell, via the one or more TCI states indicated by the MAC CE and based on the configuration of the PDCCH indicated by the first signaling, in response to receiving the MAC CE indicative of switching the SpCell of the UE to the second cell.
