Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure provide apparatus and techniques that may be applied in systems for improving reliability of cell selection to ensure that a UE is capable of transmitting on the uplink in addition to receiving on the downlink upon mobility An exemplary method, performed by a user equipment (UE), generally includes receiving reference signals from one or more transmission reception points (TRPs) in a wireless communications network, pre-selecting, based on the received reference signals, a first TRP, of the one or more TRPs, from which to receive wireless service, transmitting an uplink (UL) signal to the first TRP, receiving, from the first TRP, feedback comprising information about the UL signal, and determining, based at least in part on the feedback, to select the first TRP from which to receive the wireless service.
