Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2020033856A1] An apparatus of a user equipment (UE) includes processing circuitry, where to configure the UE for enhanced utilization of carrier aggregation (euCA) secondary cell (SCell) direct activation, the processing circuitry is to decode radio resource control (RRC) signaling from a source base station. The RRC signaling includes a handover command for a handover to a primary serving cell (PSCell) of a target base station, and an SCell activation command for euCA direct activation of a SCell of the target base station. A random access channel (RACH) procedure is performed in connection with the handover to the PSCell of the target base station. Upon completion of the handover, cell measurements of the SCell of the target base station are performed. The cell measurements are encoded for transmission to the PSCell in a channel state information (CSI) report, to activate the SCell of the target base station.
