receiving, from the base station, downlink control information (DCI) associated with a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) order, wherein the DCI comprises:
a first field comprising a value associated with the PDCCH order; and
a second field configured to comprise a first value associated with the serving cell or a second value associated with a LTM candidate cell;
based on the second value being comprised in the second field, transmitting, to the LTM candidate cell, a random access preamble; and
after transmitting the random access preamble, receiving a second message comprising a timing advance value associated with the LTM candidate cell.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first RRC message comprises:
search space configuration information for monitoring a PDCCH order of a first type;
search space configuration information for monitoring a PDCCH order of a second type;
a first radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) associated with the PDCCH order of the first type; and
a second RNTI associated with the PDCCH order of the second type.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first RRC message comprises a plurality of RRC reconfiguration messages, and
wherein each of the plurality of RRC reconfiguration messages comprises at least one configuration parameter associated with a respective LTM candidate cell.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
determining, based on the first value comprised in the second field of the DCI, a PDCCH order, of a first type, associated with the serving cell; or
determining, based on the second value comprised in the second field of the DCI, a PDCCH order, of a second type, associated with the LTM candidate cell.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first RRC message is received via a first cell of a serving cell group, and
wherein the second message is received via the first cell.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the serving cell is the first cell.
7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the second message is comprised in a medium access control protocol data unit (MAC PDU), and
wherein the second message comprises a medium access control (MAC) control element (CE) indicating a switching from the first cell to the LTM candidate cell.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the LTM candidate cell is an SpCell of a candidate cell group.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second message comprises:
a field indicating an identity of the LTM candidate cell;
a timing advance command field indicating the timing advance value that is associated with an amount of timing adjustment; and
a synchronization signal/physical broadcast channel (SS/PBCH) index field.
10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the DCI further comprises a random access preamble index field.
11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first RRC message comprises at least one configuration parameter for a candidate mobility group (CMG), wherein the CMG is a candidate cell group comprising a plurality of LTM candidate cells, and wherein the candidate cell group comprises a candidate SpCell.
12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one configuration parameter associated with LTM comprises an RRC reconfiguration (RRCReconfiguration) message for an LTM candidate cell.
13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the RRCReconfiguration message for the LTM candidate cell comprises a medium access control (MAC) cell group configuration (MAC-CellGroupConfig) for the LTM candidate cell.
14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the MAC-CellGroupConfig for the LTM candidate cell comprises at least one of: timing advance group configuration information for the LTM candidate cell; or at least one discontinuous reception (DRX) configuration (DRX-Config) for the LTM candidate cell.
15. The method of claim 1 , wherein the capability information comprises at least one parameter indicating the user device supports LTM.
16. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first RRC message is an RRC reconfiguration (RRCReconfiguration) message comprising at least one inner RRCReconfiguration message.
17. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second field of the DCI indicates an identifier of the LTM candidate cell.
18. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first field of the DCI is a frequency domain resource assignment field.
19. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
determining a subcarrier spacing (SCS) of an uplink transmission from the user device, wherein the SCS is associated with an amount of time alignment for a timing advance group (TAG), and wherein the TAG is associated with the LTM candidate cell.
20. The method of claim 19 , wherein the uplink transmission comprises a preamble transmission.
