Abstract
Divers aspects de la présente divulgation portent d'une manière générale sur la communication sans fil. Selon certains aspects, un équipement utilisateur (UE) peut recevoir, à partir d'un premier point de transmission-réception (TRP) associé à une cellule de desserte, une indication d'une puissance de transmission de bloc de signaux de synchronisation (SSB) associée à une cellule non de desserte. L'UE peut communiquer avec un second TRP associé à la cellule non de desserte sur la base, au moins en partie, de l'indication de la puissance de transmission de SSB. La divulgation concerne également de nombreux autres aspects.
