A method, apparatus, and a computer-readable storage medium are provided for proactive triggering of handovers in wireless communication networks. In one example implementation, the method may include receiving, by a user equipment (UE), handover configuration information from a first network node of a plurality of network nodes, estimating rate of change values of reference signal (RS) difference measurements, a reference signal (RS) difference measurement being a difference in reference signal (RS) measurements between the first network node and a second network node of one or more second network nodes, comparing the rate of change values with the mapping information received from the first network node, determining one or more timeToPreTrigger values based on the comparison, initiating one or more timeToPreTrigger timers based on the corresponding one or more timeToPreTrigger values, the one or more timeToPreTrigger timers corresponding to different second network nodes, generating one or more measurement reports upon expiration of the one or more timeToPreTrigger timers, and transmitting the one or more measurement reports to the first network node. In an another example implementation, the method may include transmitting, by a first network node of a plurality of network nodes, handover configuration information to a user equipment (UE), receiving a measurement report from the user equipment (UE), the measurement report corresponding to at least one second network node of the one or more second network nodes, selecting, based on the measurement report, a second network node of the one or more second network nodes for performing a handover, and transmitting an indication to the user equipment (UE) about performing the handover to the selected second network node based on the indication.

A method for admission control including transmitting a first admission request to a distributed unit of the IAB donor, wherein the first admission request includes information about a resource set to be established for a terminal device; receiving a first admission response from the distributed unit indicating whether one or more resources in the resource set are to be accepted; transmitting a second admission request to each of at least one IAB node including information about the resource set; receiving a second admission response from each of the at least one IAB node indicating whether one or more resources in the resource set are to be accepted; and in response to determining that at least one resource in the resource set is to be accepted, transmitting to an IAB node serving the terminal device a request for establishing a context of the terminal device including information about the resource.
