Abstract

A PCell for a UE participates in a first phase to add a PSCell to a set of cells including the PCell to be used by the UE for a MCHO, comprising determining that the UE is to participate in the MCHO, and sending indications of at least resources for selected ones of multiple candidate cells toward the UE for use for the MCHO. The PCell participates in a second phase to add the PSCell to the set, comprising determining by the PCell which of the selected multiple cells has been accessed by the UE as the PSCell. The PCell participates in a swap from being the PSCell for the UE to becoming a current PSCell for the UE, wherein the PSCell is swapped from the PSCell to being a current PCell for the UE. The current PSCell participates in a release of a connection to the UE.
