Abstract
A wireless device in a wireless communication system is configured to perform measurements on a set of candidate links for supporting a network node in the system to make a decision as to which of the candidate links is to be a target link for a link switch. The wireless device reports (e.g., at the physical layer) measured candidate links one link subset at a time in order of the wireless device's preference for the target link, until the wireless device receives a target indication signal indicating which of the candidate links in the set is to be the target link. Any given link subset reports one or more candidate links which the wireless device has measured for the decision. Responsive to receiving the target indication signal, the wireless device performs the link switch to the indicated target link.
