Systems and methods for diversity multiple transmission reception point handover

A system comprising:

• a first network device including a first processor to:
• receive an indication that a handover procedure is required for a user equipment (UE) device;
• select between a first handover procedure that uses one transmit channel by the UE device and a second handover procedure that uses two transmit channels by the UE device;
• and
• notify a source cell and a target cell of the second handover procedure, when selecting the second handover procedure.

A non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium storing instructions, executable by a processor of a network device, for:

• receiving an indication that a handover procedure is required for a user equipment (UE) device;
• selecting between a first handover procedure that uses one transmission and reception point (TRP) for the UE device and a second handover procedure that uses multiple TRPs for the UE device;
• and
• notifying a source cell and a target cell of the second handover procedure, when the second handover procedure is selected.
