Techniques for providing cell mobility information during handover

An apparatus for wireless communication at a base station, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• memory coupled to the processor, the processor and memory configured to:
• transmit, to a user equipment (UE), signaling indicating the UE is to perform a measurement on a first set of cells;
• receive, from the UE, a first indication associated with the measurement on the first set of cells;
• and
• transmit, to the UE and in response to the first indication, a layer 3 handover command including a second indication of a second set of cells for layer 1 or layer 2 cell mobility that the UE is to use after completing the layer 3 handover command, the layer 1 or layer 2 cell mobility within the second set of cells managed using layer 1 or layer 2 signaling.
