Neighbor cell transmission configuration indicator (tci) state switch

A user equipment (UE) comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more memories storing computer-readable instructions that, upon execution by the one or more processors, configure the UE to:
• receive, from a network while the UE is connected to a serving cell, a transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state switch command associated with a neighbor cell;
• determine a TCI state switch condition associated with the neighbor cell, the TCI state switch condition indicating at least one of:
• whether a state of the neighbor cell is known or unknown to the UE, or
• whether a TCI state of the neighbor cell is known or unknown to the UE;
• and
• complete a switch to the TCI state of the neighbor cell within a first period of time or a second period of time based on at least the TCI state switch condition.

One or more computer-readable storage media storing instructions that, upon execution on a user equipment (UE), cause the UE to perform operations comprising:

• receiving, from a network while the UE is connected to a serving cell, a transmission configuration indicator (TCI) state switch command associated with a neighbor cell;
• determining a TCI state switch condition associated with the neighbor cell, the TCI state switch condition indicating at least one of:
• whether a state of the neighbor cell is known or unknown to the UE, or
• whether a TCI state of the neighbor cell is known or unknown to the UE;
• and
• completing a switch to the TCI state of the neighbor cell within a first period of time or a second period of time based on at least the TCI state switch condition.
