Default reference signal for handover procedure in non-terrestrial networks
A method may include receiving, by a wireless device and via a first cell, a layer 1/layer 2 trigger mobility (LTM) cell switch command indicating an LTM cell switch to a second cell and a random access channel (RACH)-less LTM cell switch to the second cell. The method may also include applying, after a time duration from a transmission occasion of a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) for the LTM cell switch command, a first TCI state to the second cell. The time duration is based on a radio resource control (RRC) processing time; and synchronization signal block (SSB) measurement window for receiving, from the second cell, a first SSB transmission using the first TCI state. The method may also include transmitting, via the second cell, first uplink transmissions using the first TCI state until the wireless device receives an activation command indicating a second TCI state.
