FAILURE REPORT FOR LAYER ONE OR LAYER TWO BASED CELL HANDOVER

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may establish a first connection with a source base station. The UE may determine that a handover procedure is being performed for establishing a second connection with a target base station. The UE may monitor, during a monitoring period instantiated at a physical layer of a protocol stack of the UE, for a control signal acknowledging success of the handover procedure from a target base station. The UE may transmit, based at least in part on a result of the monitoring during the monitoring period, a physical layer signal or a medium access control layer signal to the source base station indicating that the handover procedure was unsuccessful based at least in part on a failure to successfully receive and decode the control signal.
