If the UE moves to the 5G coverage for instance after moving out of a tunnel, it selects the NG-RAN radio access technology and proceeds with the registration procedure. Because the UE has to indicate \u201cS1 mode not supported\u201d during the registration procedure as a result of disabling the E-UTRA capability, the network then indicates \"IMS voice over PS over 3GPP not supported\u201c. Consequently, the IMS voice call relying on the EPS fallback mechanism will not work for the UE. Furthermore, since a \"voice centric\" UE will disable the N1 mode capability subsequently, it will not get the 5G services either. That is to say, because of the coverage holes in 4G, the UE will lose IMS voice and 5G services for about T3402 (default value 12mins) even if the UE moves back to the 4G and 5G coverage druing T3402.\n\n3GPP had introduced a WI ING_5GS to address the solutions to this issue is Rel-17, evaluating and defining the conditions in which the 5G UE can maintain or re-enable the E-UTRA capability and defining the handling of T3402 which allows the UE to reselect from 5GS to EPS or be handed over\/redirected from 5GS to EPS by the network.\n\nThe completion level of core part of the 3GPP Rel-17 work item on ING_5GS had achieved 100% in December 2022.

It is expected that there will be increasing availability of spectrum in the market for 5G Advanced possibly due to re-farming from the bands originally used for previous cellular generation networks. Especially for low frequency FR1 bands, the available spectrum blocks tend to be more fragmented and scattered with narrower bandwidth. For FR2 bands and some FR1 bands, the available spectrum can be wider such that intra-band multi-carrier operation is necessary. To meet different spectrum needs, it is important to ensure that these scattered spectrum bands or wider bandwidth spectrum can be utilized in a more spectral\/power efficient and flexible manner, thus providing higher throughput and decent coverage in the network.\nOne motivation is to increase flexibility and spectral\/power efficiency on scheduling data over multiple cells including intra-band cells and inter-band cells. The current scheduling mechanism only allows scheduling of single cell PUSCH\/PDSCH per a scheduling DCI. With more available scattered spectrum bands or wider bandwidth spectrum, the need of simultaneous scheduling of multiple cells is expected to be increasing. To reduce the control overhead, it is beneficial to extend from single-cell scheduling to multi-cell PUSCH\/PDSCH scheduling with a single scheduling DCI. Meanwhile, trade-off between overhead saving and scheduling restriction has to be taken into account.\nFor multi-carrier UL operation, there are some limitations of current specification, e.g. 2TX UE can be configured with at most 2 UL bands, which only can be changed by RRC reconfiguration, and UL Tx switching can be only performed between 2 UL bands for 2Tx UE. Dynamically selecting carriers with UL Tx switching e.g., based on the data traffic, TDD DL\/UL configuration, bandwidths and channel conditions of each band, instead of RRC-based cell(s) reconfiguration, may potentially lead to higher UL data rate, spectrum utilization and UL capacity.\nTherefore, the RAN1 Rel-18 WI \u2018Multi-carrier enhancements for NR\u2019 is approved and it targets to specify a solution for multi-cell PUSCH\/PDSCH scheduling (one PDSCH\/PUSCH per cell) with a single DCI, and specify enhanced UL Tx switching schemes for multi-carrier UL operation.\nUntil RAN#99, the above WI has been 80% completed in the Core part. In addition, according to the latest SR RP-230356, RF core requirements are expected to be implemented after May 2023.
