Abstract: This disclosure is directed to handover operations for switching connection of user equipment (UE) from a cell (e.g., base station) to a network energy saving (NES) cell. The UE, the cell, and the NES cell may communicate based on a radio resource control (RRC) protocol. The UE may be initially connected to the cell, and then switch to connect to the NES cell. The UE may perform this handover operation based on receiving at least a part of network parameters associated with and/or previously broadcasted by the NES cell from the cell. In some embodiments, the UE may remain connected to a wireless (e.g., cellular) communication network when connected to the cell and/or the NES cell.
