Cell group configuration handling for mobility in wireless communications

A communication device comprising:

• at least one transceiver;
• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory operatively coupled to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, based on being executed by the at least one processor, perform operations comprising:
• receiving a first configuration for a first mobility and a second configuration for a second mobility, wherein the second configuration comprises i) a cell group configuration for a first cell, and ii) a cell group configuration for a second cell;
• performing the first mobility based on applying the first configuration;
• detecting an event for the second mobility to the first cell;
• determining whether a node of the first cell for the second mobility is different from that of a current serving cell after performing the first mobility, based on information received from a network;
• and
• based on the node of the first cell being different from that of the current serving cell, performing the second mobility to the second cell based on the cell group configuration for the second cell.

A network node comprising:

• at least one transceiver;
• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory operatively coupled to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, based on being executed by the at least one processor, perform operations comprising:
• transmitting, to a communication device, a first configuration for a first mobility and a second configuration for a second mobility, wherein the second configuration comprises i) a cell group configuration for a first cell, and ii) a cell group configuration for a second cell;
• and
• receiving, from the communication device, a notification that the cell group configuration for the first cell is inapplicable,
• wherein the communication device is configured to perform operations comprising:
• performing the first mobility based on applying the first configuration;
• detecting an event for the second mobility to the first cell;
• determining whether a node of the first cell for the second mobility is different from that of a current serving cell after performing the first mobility, based on information received from a network;
• and
• based on the node of the first cell being different from that of the current serving cell, performing the second mobility to the second cell based on the cell group configuration for the second cell.
