Hybrid mobility and radio resource management mechanisms

A user equipment (UE) device, comprising:

• a memory storage comprising instructions;
• and
• one or more processors in communication with the memory, wherein the one or more processors execute the instructions to perform operations comprising:
• processing layer 1 (L1) data generated from multiple beams to perform beam selection/consolidation responsive to configured parameters to identify a first set of one or more beams of the multiple beams associated with a first cell and a second set of one or more beams of the multiple beams associated with a second cell and to determine respective cell quality values at the UE device for the first cell based on the identified first set of one or more beams and for the second cell based on the identified second set of one or more beams;
• applying layer 3 (L3) filtering, consistent with configured parameters, to the respective cell quality values, the L3 filtering being separate from the beam selection/consolidation;
• determining, responsive to L1 data and separately from the determining of the respective cell quality values, respective beam quality values for a plurality of beams of the multiple beams, each beam associated with the first cell or with a base station of the first cell;
• reporting N of the respective beam quality values for N respective beams of the plurality of beams, where N is an integer greater than one;
• reporting the cell quality value of at least one of the first cell or the second cell;
• and
• wherein the beam selection/consolidation comprises applying at least one of a highest beam measurement quality value and an average of the highest beam measurement quality values above a threshold.

A non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer instructions that when executed by one or more processors of a user equipment (UE) device, cause the one or more processors to perform the steps of:

• processing layer 1 (L1) data generated from multiple beams to perform beam selection/consolidation responsive to configured parameters to identify a first set of one or more beams of the multiple beams associated with a first cell and a second set of one or more beams of the multiple beams associated with a second cell and to determine respective cell quality values at the UE device for the first cell based on the identified first set of one or more beams and for the second cell based on the identified second set of one or more beams;
• applying layer 3 (L3) filtering, consistent with configured parameters, to the respective cell quality values, the L3 filtering being separate from the beam selection/consolidation;
• determining, responsive to L1 data and separately from the determining of the respective cell quality values, respective beam quality values for a plurality of beams of the multiple beams, each beam associated with the first cell or with a base station of the first cell;
• reporting N of the respective beam quality values for N respective beams of the plurality of beams, where N is an integer greater than one;
• reporting the cell quality value of at least one of the first cell or the second cell,
• wherein the beam selection/consolidation comprises applying at least one of a highest beam measurement quality value and an average of the highest beam measurement quality values above a threshold.
