System and method for ai/ml measurement reporting and handover triggering

A user equipment (UE) comprising a processor and a memory storing instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the UE to:

• obtain a measurement associated with a serving cell and one or more candidate cells;
• generate input data based on the measurement;
• apply an artificial intelligence or machine learning (AI/ML) model to the input data using a prediction time advance (T) to determine whether to transmit a measurement report or initiate a handover from the serving cell to a target cell;
• and
• in accordance with the determination, perform at least one of transmitting the measurement report or initiating the handover.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions which, when executed by one or more processors of a UE, cause the UE to:

• obtain a measurement associated with a serving cell and one or more candidate cells;
• generate input data based on the measurement;
• apply an artificial intelligence or machine learning (AI/ML) model to the input data using a prediction time advance (T) to determine whether to transmit a measurement report or initiate a handover from the serving cell to a target cell;
• and
• in accordance with the determination, perform at least one of transmitting the measurement report or initiating the handover.
