Abstract
A method and system for managing candidate cell configuration for a user equipment (UE) initially in communication with at least a first node is disclosed herein. The method is implemented in a second node and comprises receiving, by the second node and from the first node, a request for connectivity with the second node, the request including at least a procedure indicator; and transmitting, by the second node to the first node and depending on the procedure indicator, one of a list of two or more conditional configurations or a single conditional configuration, the list of two or more conditional configurations or the single conditional configuration to be used by the UE.

A method for managing candidate cell configuration for a user equipment (UE) initially in communication with at least a first node, the method implemented in a second node and comprising:
- receiving, by the second node and from the first node, a request for connectivity with the second node, the request including a procedure indicator and measurement results of one or more cells;
- and
- transmitting, by the second node to the first node and depending on the procedure indicator, one of a list of two or more conditional configurations or a single conditional configuration, the list of two or more conditional configurations or the single conditional configuration to be used by the UE.
A method for managing candidate cell configuration for a user equipment (UE) initially in communication with at least a first node, the method implemented in the first node and comprising:
- transmitting, by the first node and to a second node, a request for connectivity with the second node, the request including a procedure indicator and measurement results of one or more cells;
- receiving, by the first node and from the second node, a response to the request, the response causing the first node to perform a secondary node procedure and the response including an information element conveying a list of two or more conditional configurations or a single conditional configuration according to the indication;
- and
- transmitting, by the first node to the UE, a radio resource message based at least on the list of two or more conditional configurations or the single conditional configuration.
A network node, configured to manage candidate cell configuration for a user equipment (UE) initially in communication with at least a first node, the network node operating as the first node and comprising:
- a transceiver;
- and
- processing hardware, configured to:
- transmit, to a second node, a request for connectivity with the second node, the request including a procedure indicator and measurement results of one or more cells;
- receive, from the second node, a response to the request, the response causing the first node to perform a secondary node procedure and the response including an information element conveying a list of two or more conditional configurations or a single conditional configuration according to the indication;
- and
- transmit, to the UE, a radio resource message based at least on the list of two or more conditional configurations or the single conditional configuration.
