Multiplexing of multiple handover commands

An apparatus for wireless communication at a network entity, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the memory, wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
• transmit a physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) transmission associated with a group radio network temporary identifier (RNTI) scheduling a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) transmission for a set of user equipments (UEs), the group RNTI being associated with each UE in the set of UEs;
• and
• transmit the PDSCH transmission, the PDSCH transmission comprising a set of radio resource control (RRC) messages, each RRC message in the set of RRC messages comprises a respective group handover configuration in a set of group handover configurations associated with a respective UE in the set of UEs, the set of RRC messages being included in a set of medium access control (MAC) service data units (SDUs) (MAC SDUs) in a MAC protocol data unit (PDU), the set of MAC SDUs comprising a common SDU for the set of UEs and a subset of SDUs for each respective UE in the set of UEs.

A method of wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:

• receiving a physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) transmission from a network entity, the PDSCH transmission comprising a set of radio resource control (RRC) messages, each RRC message in the set of RRC messages comprises a respective group handover configuration in a set of group handover configurations associated with a respective UE in a set of UEs including the UE, the set of RRC messages being included in a set of medium access control (MAC) service data units (SDUs) (MAC SDUs) in a MAC protocol data unit (PDU);
• processing a first subset of the MAC SDUs that are associated with the UE and discard a second subset the MAC SDUs that are not applicable to the UE, the first subset of MAC SDUs including a common MAC SDU and at least a UE specific MAC SDU;
• and
• connecting to a target network entity based on a group handover configuration in the set of group handover configurations, the group handover configuration being associated with the UE.
