Handover in ai/ml based cell mobility

An apparatus for wireless communication at a user equipment (UE), comprising:

• at least one memory;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the at least one memory, and based at least in part on information stored in the at least one memory, the at least one processor is configured to:
• transmit, to a network node before a handover command associated with a handover, an indication of at least one handover awareness associated with a target cell for at least one ID, wherein the at least one handover awareness indicates at least one quantity of reference signal (RS) associated with a search of the target cell associated with the handover;
• and
• receive, from the network node after the handover command, at least one RS based on the indication of the at least one handover awareness.
