Switching Delay Control in a Dual-Active Protocol Stack Handover

An example method according to some of the techniques described below is performed by a device operating in a wireless network, where the device could be a UE or a network node, e.g., an NR gNB. This example method includes the step of determining (610) whether a receive-to-transmit or transmit-to-receive switching limitation of a UE can be met during a dual-active protocol stack handover for the UE from a source cell to a target cell. The method further includes the step of taking one or more mitigation actions (620) in response to said determining. Mitigation actions might include, for example, stopping a downlink reception early or starting a scheduled transmission late, in various embodiments or instances.
