## Abstract

A method by a wireless device includes receiving, from a network node, an indication identifying at least a first configuration identifier for modification. The first configuration identifier is associated with a conditional reconfiguration. The wireless device replaces at least a portion of the conditional reconfiguration based on the indication. The wireless devices determines that the first configuration identifier is associated with at least a first trigger condition for performing a conditional handover and stops monitoring for the first trigger condition.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method by a wireless device, the method comprising:
receiving, from a network node, an indication identifying a configuration identifier for modification, the configuration identifier being associated with a conditional configuration; and
replacing at least a portion of the conditional configuration based on the indication;
determining that the configuration identifier is associated with at least a first trigger condition for performing a conditional handover; and
stopping monitoring for the first trigger condition, wherein stopping monitoring for the first trigger condition avoids execution of the conditional handover of the wireless device while the portion of the conditional configuration is replaced based on the indication.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the indication received from the network node includes a second trigger condition, and
wherein replacing the at least a portion of the conditional configuration comprises replacing the first trigger condition with the second trigger condition.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, further comprising after replacing the at least a portion of the conditional configuration based on the indication, starting monitoring according to the replaced portion of the conditional configuration.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The method claim 1, further comprising, in response to determining that the configuration identifier is associated with the first trigger condition for performing the conditional handover, resetting a timer associated with the first trigger condition and/or resetting a state indicating a state of the first trigger condition.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the indication identifies at least one measurement identifier to add, and the method further comprises modifying a measurement configuration based on the indication to add the at least one measurement identifier to the measurement configuration.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the indication identifies at least one report configuration to add, and the method further comprises adding the at least one report configuration to the conditional configuration.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the indication identifies at least one measurement object to add, and wherein the method further comprises adding the at least one measurement object to the conditional configuration.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the indication identifies at least one measurement identifier to remove, and the method further comprises removing the at least one measurement identifier from the conditional configuration.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the indication identifies at least one report configuration to remove, and the method further comprises removing the at least one report configuration from the conditional configuration.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the indication identifies at least one measurement object to remove, and the method further comprises removing the at least one measurement object from the conditional configuration.

### Claim 11 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the indication identifies at least one measurement configuration parameter to modify, and the method further comprises modifying the at least one measurement configuration parameter.

### Claim 12

A wireless device 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 wireless device to perform operations comprising:
receiving, from a network node, an indication identifying a configuration identifier for modification, the configuration identifier being associated with a conditional configuration;
replacing at least a portion of the conditional configuration based on the indication;
determining that the configuration identifier is associated with at least a first trigger condition for performing a conditional handover; and
stopping monitoring for the first trigger condition, wherein stopping monitoring for the first trigger condition avoids execution of the conditional handover of the wireless device while the portion of the conditional configuration is replaced based on the indication.

### Claim 13 (depends on 12)

The wireless device of claim 12, wherein the indication received from the network node includes a second trigger condition, and
wherein replacing the at least a portion of the conditional configuration comprises replacing the first trigger condition with the second trigger condition.

### Claim 14 (depends on 12)

The wireless device of claim 12, the operations further comprising:
after replacing the at least a portion of the conditional configuration based on the indication, starting monitoring according to the replaced portion of the conditional configuration.

### Claim 15 (depends on 12)

The wireless device of claim 12, the operations further comprising:
in response to determining that the configuration identifier is associated with the first trigger condition for performing the conditional handover, resetting a timer associated with the first trigger condition and/or resetting a state indicating a state of the first trigger condition.

### Claim 16

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions executable to cause a wireless device to perform operations comprising:
receiving, from a network node, an indication identifying a configuration identifier for modification, the configuration identifier being associated with a conditional configuration; and
replacing at least a portion of the conditional configuration based on the indication;
determining that the configuration identifier is associated with at least a first trigger condition for performing a conditional handover; and
stopping monitoring for the first trigger condition, wherein stopping monitoring for the first trigger condition avoids execution of the conditional handover of the wireless device while the portion of the conditional configuration is replaced based on the indication.

### Claim 17 (depends on 16)

The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 16, wherein the indication received from the network node includes a second trigger condition, and
wherein replacing the at least a portion of the conditional configuration comprises replacing the first trigger condition with the second trigger condition.

### Claim 18 (depends on 16)

The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 16, the operations further comprising:
after replacing the at least a portion of the conditional configuration based on the indication, starting monitoring according to the replaced portion of the conditional configuration.

### Claim 19 (depends on 16)

The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 16, the operations further comprising:
in response to determining that the configuration identifier is associated with the first trigger condition for performing the conditional handover, resetting a timer associated with the first trigger condition and/or resetting a state indicating a state of the first trigger condition.
