Abstract

Aspects of the disclosure relate to improve user equipment (UE) handover and mobility within a telecommunication network. Events that trigger a handover operation are defined by multiple thresholds corresponding to (and reflecting the requirements of) network-supported services. In one example, a base station detects an execution of a network-supported service at a UE and responsively transmits a threshold corresponding to the network-supported service to the UE. The UE monitors reference signals according to the threshold and transmits measurement reports if the thresholds are exceeded or satisfied. In some examples, at any given time, the UE monitors one or more thresholds corresponding to which (if any) network-supported services are presently being executed by the UE.
