Abstract
A method, apparatus, and a computer-readable storage medium are provided for a coordinated receive (or transmit) pattern during a DAPS handover. In an example implementation, the method may include a UE sending a measurement report to a first network node, the measurement report including at least a request for a time division multiplexing pattern. The method may further include receiving a radio resource control configuration from the first network node, the radio resource control configuration including at least the time division multiplexing pattern.
Claims13
A method for a handover in a communication network, comprising:
- sending, by a user equipment, a measurement report to a first network node, the measurement report including at least a request for a time division multiplexing pattern;
- and
- receiving, by the user equipment, a radio resource control configuration from the first network node, the radio resource control configuration including at least the time division multiplexing pattern,
- wherein the condition includes an occurrence of a pre-configured time instance as defined in:
- an absolute frame number,
- relative to the time instant of receiving the handover command,
- relative to sending a random access preamble, or
- any combination thereof.
A user equipment, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the user equipment at least to perform:
- sending a measurement report to a first network node, the measurement report including at least a request for a time division multiplexing pattern;
- and
- receiving a radio resource control configuration from the first network node, the radio resource control configuration including at least the time division multiplexing pattern,
- wherein the condition includes an occurrence of a pre-configured time instance as defined in:
- an absolute frame number,
- relative to the time instant of receiving the handover command,
- relative to sending a random access preamble, or
- any combination thereof.
