Method and apparatus for fast handover evaluation

An apparatus of wireless communication, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• a memory coupled to the at least one processor, wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
• determine the quality of a serving cell relative to a fast handover performance threshold;
• transmit a measurement report when the fast handover performance threshold is breached;
• request a handover to a target cell when the fast handover performance threshold is breached;
• and
• receive a handover trigger based on the measurement report and based on the request for handover.
