Based on the enhanced channel quality indicator configuration, the user equipment performs measurements of channel state information reference resources with a plurality of code block groups comprising determining a highest data rate modulation and coding scheme index supported by the user equipment with an error probability that will not exceed a predetermined threshold for reception of at least one transport block from the communication network, and based on the performing, the user equipment sends, towards the communication network, information expressed with a channel quality index comprising an indication of the determined highest data rate modulation and coding scheme index for use with link adaption for improving spectral efficiency of radio resource allocations of at least one transport block with more than one code block group for at least one physical downlink shared channel transmission from the communication network, wherein the information expressed with the channel quality index comprises an enhanced channel quality indicator report that identifies a new enhanced channel quality indicator report table enumerating the highest data rate modulation and coding scheme index supported by the user equipment and an effective code rate that the communication network is directed to use for the at least one physical downlink shared channel transmission.
Devices, methods, apparatuses and computer readable storage media of monitoring in beam management with CORESETs associated with CSS and USS. The method includes monitoring a first downlink control channel associated with a first type of CORESET based on a first TCI state; and in accordance with a determination that a first TCI is different from a second TCI state used for the first device to monitor a second downlink control channel associated with a second type of CORESET, determining a reception of a first downlink data channel associated with the first type of CORESET based at least partially on a scheduling offset.
An apparatus comprising means configured to: determine sampling rate information which controls a rate at which an antenna panel of a communications device makes cell measurements; and determine one or more mobility related parameters based on information received from a network entity about mobility related parameters for the determined sampling rate information.
A method including: connecting, with an apparatus, to a target cell; starting a timer associated with one or more transmission configuration indicator states; determining that the one or more transmission configuration indicator states were active prior to connecting to the target cell; and based upon the timer running, considering the one or more transmission configuration indicator states as being active for at least one of a lower layer mobility or for intra/inter cell beam management within the target cell.
The present disclosure relates to on transition to another cell without handover in non-terrestrial network (NTN). In particular, a NTN device transmits information related to a set of NTN devices to a terminal a first device receives assistance information of a NTN device from a second device. The assistance information at least indicated a type of a cell switching. The first device skips buffer flushing and security key updating regardless of the type of cell switching. In this way, it can achieve cell switching without handover.
An apparatus comprising means for sending a response to the first target master node based on the received first request in response to receiving a first secondary node addition request for the user equipment from a first target master node, means for sending a response to the second target master node based on the received second request in response to receiving a second secondary node addition request from a second target master node for the same user equipment; and means for enabling, in response to receiving a physical uplink shared channel message from the user equipment, decoding of the physical uplink shared channel message received from the user equipment based on a first target master node key associated with the first target master node in case no information is available whether user equipment accessed first or second target master node, and, if decoding with the first key not successful, decoding based on a second target master node key associated with the second target master node.
