1. A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a processor of a user equipment (UE), an uplink (UL) signaling configuration from a source base station (BS) of a wireless network;
periodically transmitting, by the processor, a UL reference signal, which are measured by the source BS, responsive to receiving the UL signaling configuration;
receiving, by the processor, a handover command from the source BS; and
performing, by the processor, a handover procedure towards a target BS responsive to receiving the handover command from the source BS.

Abstract
Concepts and examples pertaining to uplink-assisted mobility procedure in millimeter wave (mmWave) communication systems are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive an uplink (UL) signaling configuration from a source base station (BS) of a wireless network. The UE may periodically transmit a UL reference signal, which are measured by the source BS, in response to receiving the UL signaling configuration. The UE may receive a handover command from the source BS. The UE may also perform a handover procedure with a target BS in response to receiving the handover command from the source BS.

12. A method, comprising:
-
transmitting, by a processor of a source base station (BS), an uplink (UL) signaling configuration to a user equipment (UE) of a wireless network; measuring, by the processor, a UL reference signal periodically transmitted by the UE; determining, by the processor, to trigger a handover procedure to hand over the UE to a target BS based at least in part on a result of the measuring; and transmitting, by the processor, a handover command to the UE. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
