Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 17:
18. An apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), the apparatus comprising:
one or more processors; and
one or more memories coupled with the one or more processors, the one or more memories comprising instructions executable by the one or more processors individually or collectively to cause the apparatus to:
receive, from a source network device using a first connection between the source network device and the UE, an indication of one or more reference signal resources for transmission of one or more reference signals by a target network device and an indication of a configuration to measure one or more physical layer parameters of the one or more reference signals, wherein the one or more reference signals correspond to a tracking reference signal (TRS) type of a plurality of reference signal types;
receive, from the target network device, one or more TRSs using the one or more reference signal resources, wherein the one or more TRSs are aperiodic and received in a same downlink transmission that is used to indicate to the UE to select the target network device for a handover procedure;
measure, based at least in part on the configuration, the one or more physical layer parameters of the one or more TRSs to generate one or more physical layer measurements associated with the target network device, wherein the one or more physical layer measurements comprise one or more frequency offset measurements;
store the one or more frequency offset measurements at the UE for establishment of a second connection with the target network device, wherein the target network device is from one or more neighboring network devices, and wherein the one or more frequency offset measurements associated with the target network device are unreported prior to the establishment of the second connection.
