Abstract

In general, the current subject matter relates to prioritizing random access channel layer-less (RACH-less) layer 1/layer 2 triggered mobility (LTM). In some implementations, prioritizing RACH-less LTM can include receiving, at a serving distributed unit (DU) of a base station from a centralized unit control plane of the base station, information indicative of a RACH-less handover configuration for a plurality of LTM target cells of the base station or timing advance information for each of the plurality of LTM target cells; identifying, at the serving DU and based on the received information, at least one of the target cells for which RACH-less handover of service for a user equipment (UE) can be performed; and selecting, at the serving DU, one of the at least one identified target cells for handover of service for the UE from the serving DU, and triggering the handover of the service to the selected target cell.
