Methods and apparatus are described herein to manage a serving cell change. Timers are used to monitor one or more cells which become stronger relative to a cell which is currently the best cell. These one or more cells may be referred to as pending best cells. Further, in some aspects, additional timers can be started for any cell relative to any pending best cell when the respective cell becomes stronger than the respective pending best cell.
