Cell selection for conditional handover

A method of a user equipment (UE), the method comprising:

• receiving a conditional handover (CHO) command from a serving cell, the CHO command including a CHO configuration comprising one or more CHO conditions and a plurality of cells, the one or more CHO conditions specifying one or more conditions, when met by one or more of the plurality of cells, triggers a handover of the UE from the serving cell to a target cell, the target cell being one of the plurality of cells;
• selecting a target cell among multiple CHO candidate cells, each CHO candidate cell being a cell of the plurality of cells that satisfies the one or more CHO conditions;
• and
• performing a handover to the target cell,
• wherein selecting the target cell comprises selecting (420-470) the target cell among the multiple CHO candidate cells based on discontinuous reception (DRX) configurations of the multiple CHO candidate cells when the UE is operating as a multiple subscriber identity module (multiSIM) UE.

A user equipment (UE) configured to operate in first and second radio access technologies (RATs), comprising:

• means for receiving a conditional handover (CHO) command from a serving cell, the CHO command including a CHO configuration comprising one or more CHO conditions and a plurality of cells, the one or more CHO conditions specifying one or more conditions, when met by one or more of the plurality of cells, triggers a handover of the UE from the serving cell to a target cell, the target cell being one of the plurality of cells;
• means for selecting a target cell among multiple CHO candidate cells, each CHO candidate cell being a cell of the plurality of cells that satisfies the one or more CHO conditions;
• and
• means for performing a handover to the target cell,
• wherein the means for selecting the target cell selects the target cell among the multiple CHO candidate cells based on discontinuous reception (DRX) configurations of the multiple CHO candidate cells when the UE is operating as a multiple subscriber identity module (multiSIM) UE.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions for a user equipment (UE), the computer-executable instructions comprising:

• one or more instructions instructing the UE to receive a conditional handover (CHO) command from a serving cell, the CHO command including a CHO configuration comprising one or more CHO conditions and a plurality of cells, the one or more CHO conditions specifying one or more conditions, when met by one or more of the plurality of cells, triggers a handover of the UE from the serving cell to a target cell, the target cell being one of the plurality of cells;
• one or more instructions instructing the UE to select a target cell among multiple CHO candidate cells, each CHO candidate cell being a cell of the plurality of cells that satisfies the one or more CHO conditions;
• and
• one or more instructions instructing the UE to perform a handover to the target cell,
• wherein in selecting the target cell, the one or more instructions instruct the UE to select the target cell among the multiple CHO candidate cells based on discontinuous reception (DRX) configurations of the multiple CHO candidate cells when the UE is operating as a multiple subscriber identity module (multiSIM) UE.
