Inter-cell beam management scheduling restriction and reporting

A user equipment (UE) comprising:

• processing circuitry to configure the UE to:
• receive, from a serving cell and a neighbor cell having a different physical cell identifier (PCI), a Synchronization Signal Block (SSB) from each cell;
• and
• based on a timing difference of arrival between the SSBs of the serving cell and the neighbor cell, restrict at least one of:
• transmission of a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH), a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), and a sounding reference signal (SRS), and
• reception of a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), and a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) for channel quality information (CQI);
• and
• a memory configured to store the timing difference.

A non-transitory computer-readable media having instructions, stored thereon, that when executed by one or more processors of a user equipment (UE) configure the UE to:

• receive, from a serving cell and a neighbor cell having a different physical cell identifier (PCI), a Synchronization Signal Block (SSB) from each cell;
• and
• based on a timing difference of arrival between the SSBs of the serving cell and the neighbor cell, restrict at least one of:
• transmission of a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH), a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), and a sounding reference signal (SRS), and
• reception of a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), and a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) for channel quality information (CQI);
• and
• a memory configured to store the timing difference.

A serving cell comprising:

• processing circuitry to configure the serving cell to:
• transmit, to a user equipment (UE), a Synchronization Signal Block (SSB), and at least one of:
• receive from the UE at least one of a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH), a physical uplink shared channel (PUSCH), and a sounding reference signal (SRS), and
• transmit a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH), and a channel state information reference signal (CSI-RS) for channel quality information (CQI), the at least one of reception and transmission restricted by the UE based on a timing difference of arrival between the SSB and an SSB from a neighbor cell having a different physical cell identifier (PCI) than the serving cell, and
• a memory configured to store the timing difference.
