CONDITIONAL CARRIER AGGREGATION ASSOCIATED WITH REDUCED INTERRUPTION TIME IN MOVING NETWORKS

Systems, methods, and instrumentalities are disclosed herein associated with receiving a triggering configuration for starting and/or stopping a dual connection with a cell (e.g., second cell), where the triggering configuration may be the same or different for the uplink (UL) and downlink (DL). A configuration may be received regarding the WTRU UL behavior for faster activation of the target cell (e.g. faster channel quality indicator (CQI) reporting prior to starting the connection towards the second cell), which may include triggering conditions for starting the UL signaling. The triggering conditions may be monitored for starting the UL signaling towards/regarding the second cell for faster activation. In examples the triggering conditions may be monitored for starting the connection towards the second cell.
