CELL SELECTION FOR CONDITIONAL HANDOVER

Abstract:

Techniques to select a cell for conditional handover (CHO) are disclosed. A user equipment (UE) may receive a CHO command from a serving cell. The CHO command may include a CHO configuration, which in turn may include one or more CHO conditions and a plurality of cells. The one or more CHO conditions may specify one or more conditions, when met by any of the plurality of cells, may trigger a handover from the serving cell to a target cell. When multiple cells of the plurality of cells meet the one or more CHO conditions, the UE may select one of them as the target cell and perform the handover. The UE may consider several factors in selecting the target cell. The factors may include channel conditions, bandwidths, whether the UE is operating as a multiSIM, and cell priorities.
