Methods for enhanced mobility in wireless systems
Methods, devices, and systems for communication by a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) associated with a source cell. The WTRU is configured with a conditional reconfiguration which includes a trigger condition and a configured target cell. The WTRU detects an occurrence of an impairment event resulting in impairment to operation of the WTRU in the source cell. If the impairment event satisfies the trigger condition, a reconfiguration is performed with the configured target cell. If the impairment event does not satisfy the trigger condition, a target cell is selected based on a cell selection procedure, and if the is configured with a conditional reconfiguration for the selected target cell, a reconfiguration is performed with the selected target cell; and if the WTRU is not configured with a conditional reconfiguration for the target cell, a reestablishment is performed with the selected target cell.
1. A method for communication by a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) associated with a source cell, the method comprising:
detecting a radio link failure (RLF);
after detecting the RLF, performing a cell selection procedure and selecting a cell; and
responsive to the selected cell being a candidate for a conditional handover (CHO) configuration, performing a CHO to the selected cell.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the CHO configuration comprises a configured target cell.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the CHO configuration comprises a trigger condition.
4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the CHO configuration comprises a threshold quality of a source gNB.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the CHO configuration comprises a trigger condition different from the RLF.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the CHO configuration is different from the RLF.
7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising, responsive to the selected cell being associated with the CHO configuration, performing the CHO to the selected cell regardless of whether a trigger condition of the CHO is satisfied.
8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising, responsive to the selected cell being associated with the CHO configuration, performing the CHO to the selected cell based on a trigger condition different from the trigger condition of the CHO.
9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising, responsive to the selected cell being associated with a different CHO configuration, performing the CHO to the selected cell on a condition that the CHO is valid.
10. The method of claim 1 , further comprising, responsive to the selected cell being associated with a different CHO configuration, performing the CHO to the selected cell on a condition that the CHO is unexpired.
11. A wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) associated with a source cell, the WTRU comprising:
a transceiver; and
a processor;
the transceiver and the processor configured to detect a radio link failure (RLF);
the transceiver and the processor configured to perform, after detecting the RLF, a cell selection procedure and select a cell;
the transceiver and the processor configured to perform, responsive to the selected cell being a candidate for a conditional handover (CHO) configuration, a CHO to the selected cell; and
the transceiver and the processor configured to perform, on a condition that the selected cell is not associated with the CHO configuration, a reestablishment procedure.
12. The WTRU of claim 11 , wherein the CHO configuration comprises a configured target cell.
13. The WTRU of claim 11 , wherein the CHO configuration comprises a trigger condition.
14. The WTRU of claim 13 , wherein the CHO configuration comprises a threshold quality of a source gNB.
15. The WTRU of claim 11 , wherein the CHO configuration comprises a trigger condition different from the RLF.
16. The WTRU of claim 11 , wherein the CHO configuration is different from the RLF.
17. The WTRU of claim 11 , wherein the transceiver and the processor are configured to, responsive to the selected cell being associated with the CHO configuration, perform the CHO to the selected cell regardless of whether a trigger condition of the CHO is satisfied.
18. The WTRU of claim 17 , wherein the transceiver and the processor are configured to, responsive to the selected cell being associated with the CHO configuration, perform the CHO to the selected cell based on a trigger condition different from the trigger condition of the CHO.
19. The WTRU of claim 11 , wherein the transceiver and the processor are configured to, responsive to the selected cell being associated with a different CHO configuration, perform the CHO to the selected cell on a condition that the CHO is valid.
20. The WTRU of claim 11 , wherein the transceiver and the processor are configured to, responsive to the selected cell being associated with a different CHO configuration, perform the CHO to the selected cell on a condition that the CHO is unexpired.
