Abstract
Aspects described herein relate to receiving, for a first cell, a broadcast signal including an indication that the first cell supports reduced capability UE, and prioritizing, based on the indication, conditional handover or conditional cell change from a serving cell to the first cell over handover or redirection from the serving cell to a second cell.
Claims30
An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
- a transceiver;
- one or more memories configured to, individually or in combination, store instructions;
- and
- one or more processors communicatively coupled with the one or more memories, wherein the one or more processors are, individually or in combination, configured to execute the instructions to cause the apparatus to:
- receive, for a first cell, a broadcast signal including an indication that the first cell supports reduced capability UE;
- maintain a ranked reduced capability cell list of cells that support reduced capability UEs including the first cell;
- and
- prioritize, based on the first cell being in the ranked reduced capability cell list, conditional handover or conditional cell change from a serving cell to the first cell over handover or redirection from the serving cell to a second cell.
A method for wireless communication by a reduced capability user equipment (UE), comprising:
- receiving, for a first cell, a broadcast signal including an indication that the first cell supports reduced capability UE;
- maintaining a ranked reduced capability cell list of cells that support reduced capability UEs including the first cell;
- and
- prioritizing, based on the first cell being in the ranked reduced capability cell list, conditional handover or conditional cell change from a serving cell to the first cell over handover or redirection from the serving cell to a second cell.
An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
- means for receiving, for a first cell, a broadcast signal including an indication that the first cell supports reduced capability UE;
- means for maintaining a ranked reduced capability cell list of cells that support reduced capability UEs including the first cell;
- and
- means for prioritizing, based on the first cell being in the ranked reduced capability cell list, conditional handover or conditional cell change from a serving cell to the first cell over handover or redirection from the serving cell to a second cell.
One or more non-transitory computer-readable media, comprising code executable by one or more processors for wireless communications at a reduced capability user equipment (UE), the code comprising code for:
- receiving, for a first cell, a broadcast signal including an indication that the first cell supports reduced capability UE;
- maintaining a ranked reduced capability cell list of cells that support reduced capability UEs including the first cell;
- and
- prioritizing, based on the first cell being in the ranked reduced capability cell list, conditional handover or conditional cell change from a serving cell to the first cell over handover or redirection from the serving cell to a second cell.
