Suspend-resume in conditional handover

A user equipment (UE) comprising:

• a non-transitory memory;
• and
• processing circuitry coupled to the non-transitory memory and configured to read instructions from the non-transitory memory to cause the user equipment to perform operations comprising:
• while in a connected state:
• receiving and storing one or more conditional handover configurations, wherein each of the one or more conditional handover configurations is associated with a target cell candidate;
• transitioning from the connected state to a sleeping state, the transitioning including discarding the one or more conditional handover configurations;
• releasing resources associated with the one or more conditional handover configurations;
• performing one or more clean up actions relating to conditional handover;
• and
• transitioning from the sleeping state to the connected state comprising:
• transmitting a Radio Resource Control (RRC) resume request message;
• receiving an RRC resume message including at least one conditional handover configuration;
• and
• performing one or more actions responsive to the received at least one conditional handover configuration.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon instructions executable to cause a wireless device to perform operations comprising:

• while in a connected state:
• receiving and storing one or more conditional handover configurations, wherein each of the one or more conditional handover configurations is associated with a target cell candidate;
• transitioning from the connected state to a sleeping state, the transitioning including discarding the one or more conditional handover configurations;
• releasing resources associated with the one or more conditional handover configurations;
• performing one or more clean up actions relating to conditional handover;
• and
• transitioning from the sleeping state to the connected state comprising:
• transmitting a Radio Resource Control (RRC) resume request message;
• receiving an RRC resume message including at least one conditional handover configuration;
• and
• performing one or more actions responsive to the at least one conditional handover configuration.
