Abstract
In general, the current subject matter relates to target cell prioritization for layer 1/layer 2 triggered mobility (LTM). In some implementations, target cell prioritization for LTM can include receiving, at a serving distributed unit (DU) of a base station from a centralized unit control plane (CU-CP) of the base station, information indicating a handover priority ranking of a plurality of Layer 1/Layer 2 triggered mobility (LTM) target cells of a second DU of the base station, and selecting, at the serving DU and based on the received information, one of the plurality of LTM target cells for handover of service for a user equipment (UE) from the serving DU, and triggering the handover of the service for the UE from the serving DU to the selected target cell. Each of the plurality of LTM target cells from which the serving DU selects satisfies handover criteria.
