Abstract

Embodiments include methods for conditional mobility in a radio access network (RAN), performed by a user equipment (UE). Such methods include receiving, from one or more RAN nodes (e.g., source RAN node and/or target RAN node), one or more mobility-related messages that include: a first indication of a mobility operation; a second indication of a triggering condition for the mobility operation; a second measurement configuration related to the triggering condition; and a third measurement configuration related to one or more target cells. Such methods also include, based on the second measurement configuration, detecting fulfillment of the triggering condition with respect to a particular one of the target cells and executing the mobility operation towards the particular target cell, and subsequently performing and reporting third measurements in the particular target cell based on the third measurement configuration. Embodiments also include complementary methods performed by source RAN nodes and target RAN nodes.
