Abstract
Methods, systems, and storage media described herein may have the complexity to support simultaneous communications (e.g., transmission/reception to/from) with two or more cells. Therefore, before configuring a handover, the network needs to know if these methods, systems, and storage media can support simultaneous communication with multiple cells or not. Among other things, these methods, systems, and storage media can reduce the interruption time during handovers for when these methods, systems, and storage media are capable of such simultaneous communication.
