IN 5G-NR UE’s operating in RRC_Connected mode can be categorized into two types of mobilities Cell level mobility and Beam Level Mobility which are network controlled procedures. In Release-15 3GPP has introduced the inter-gNB handover procedure which is similar to…
Conditional Handover (CHO) in 5G NR Release16
In Release-16, 3GPP Introduced a new Handover procedure that allows UE to decide to perform handover when certain conditions are met, In the Legacy handover procedure network was in charge of making the decision whether the handover should be performed…
2-Step RACH : MsgB Reception-Part2
msgB is a combination of Msg2 and Msg4. In response to a transmission of a PRACH and a PUSCH i.e msgA transmission, UE expects a Response from gNB containing MsgB information. The details related to msgB reception are discussed in this article.
