A method () performed by a T-SN for cancelling a conditional PSCell, change (CPC). The method includes the T-SN receiving (s) a request for a CPC configuration for a UE, wherein the request was transmitted by a first network node (NN), and the UE is connected to the first NN and is also connected to a second NN. The method also includes the T-SM transmitting (s) to the first NN a response to the request, the response including the CPC configuration for the UE. The method further includes, after transmitting the response, the T-SN transmitting (s) to the first NN a cancellation indication indicating that the CPC configuration for the UE is cancelled.

Target secondary node initiated cancel of conditional PSCell change

A UE method includes receiving an RRC reconfiguration message, RRCReconfiguration, from a master node. The RRCReconfiguration message includes a secondary cell group, SCG, measurement configuration comprising a configuration of at least one measurement identifier referred in an execution condition for a conditional primary secondary cell, PSCell, change, CPC. The SCG measurement configuration is included within another RRC reconfiguration message, RRCReconfiguration***, to be applied by the UE upon reception; and at least one conditional reconfiguration for CPC, the conditional reconfiguration comprising for a target candidate cell of a candidate target-secondary node: the SCG configuration; and the execution condition for CPC, where the UE is to apply the SCG configuration upon fulfillment of the execution condition for CPC. The UE applies the reconfiguration message and the SCG measurement configuration, within the RRCReconfiguration*** message. The UE monitors the fulfillment of the execution conditions for the target candidate cell.

SN-initiated conditional PSCell change (CPC) with SN change

Embodiments include methods, performed by a user equipment, UE, for reporting failures related to mobility operations by the UE to a network node in a radio access network, RAN. Such methods include logging () information associated with a plurality of failures during conditional handover, CHO, operations related to a source cell and one or more first target cells. Such methods also include, after a successful mobility operation to a second target cell served by the network node, reporting () the logged information, associated with the plurality of failures, to the network node. Other embodiments include complementary methods performed by a network node, as well as UEs and network nodes configured to perform such methods.

Reporting failures of conditional handover mobility operations
