Methods and apparatuses for a daps failure recovery mechanism and a mro mechanism for cho and daps procedures

An apparatus, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory coupled with the processor, the processor configured to cause the apparatus to:
• receive a dual active protocol stack (DAPS) handover command;
• perform a DAPS handover procedure from a source cell to a target cell, the DAPS handover procedure including to:
• start a handover timer;
• perform a random access (RA) procedure to the target cell;
• and
• in response to failing to complete the DAPS handover procedure or in response to successfully completing a DAPS recovery procedure, transmit assistant information to a serving cell that is one of the source cell or the target cell.

An apparatus, comprising:

• a memory coupled with the processor, the processor configured to cause the apparatus to:
• receive first conditional handover (CHO) configuration information that is associated with a CHO candidate cell, the first CHO configuration information includes a first radio resource control (RRC) reconfiguration message and a first set of one or more execution conditions;
• in response to meeting one or more execution conditions associated with the CHO candidate cell, perform a CHO procedure from a source cell to the CHO candidate cell;
• and
• in response to successfully accessing the CHO candidate cell or in response to an occurrence of a failure during the CHO procedure, transmit time related assistant information to a serving cell that is one of the source cell or the CHO candidate cell.
