Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure pertain to mobility management processes for cells directly at Layer 1 (L1) or Layer 2 (L2), in a manner that reduces latency of inter-cell mobility methods and enhances user experience under mobility (i.e. handover). To address some of the limitations of existing inter-cell mobility methods, embodiments of the disclosure aid in enabling system information acquisition from neighbor cells for inter-cell mobility, system information update for neighbor cells for inter-cell mobility, radio link monitoring (RLM) for inter-cell mobility and using an uplink transmission mechanism for inter-cell mobility to acknowledge receipt of a handover message for inter-cell mobility.
