EARLY MEASUREMENTS DURING INTER-RAT CELL RESELECTION IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION

Abstract:

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to apparatuses, methods, and systems for performing early measurements during inter-RAT reselection. During cell reselection, a user equipment (UE) switches from a first cell using a first radio access technology (RAT) to a second cell using a second RAT that is different from the first RAT. The UE receives a measurement configuration from the first cell, and the measurement configuration configures the UE to perform early measurements for at least one RAT. After reselecting to the second cell, the UE determines whether to continue the early measurements based on the measurement configuration.
