Method and apparatus for CHO and fast MCG link recovery

A user equipment (UE) for wireless communication, comprising:

• at least one memory;
• and
• at least one processor coupled with the at least one memory and configured to cause the UE to:
• receive fast master cell group (MCG) link recovery configuration information;
• receive conditional handover (CHO) configuration information indicating a set of CHO configurations and a set of execution conditions for a set of cells, each cell is associated with a CHO configuration and an execution condition;
• evaluate the set of execution conditions based on the CHO configuration information;
• and
• based at least in part on a radio link failure in a MCG, initiate a fast MCG link recovery procedure, start a timer associated with the fast MCG link recovery procedure, and stop the evaluation of the set of execution conditions.
