Methods and apparatus for handling measurement reports

A method of wireless communication, comprising:

• receiving, by a user equipment (UE), a radio bearer reconfiguration message indicating a radio bearer reconfiguration;
• obtaining, by the UE, a plurality of cell measurement reports during the radio bearer reconfiguration;
• combining, by the UE, during the radio bearer reconfiguration, the plurality of cell measurement reports to create a combined cell measurement report;
• updating, by the UE, during the radio bearer reconfiguration, the combined cell measurement report by replacing an outdated cell measurement with an updated cell measurement made contemporaneous with the radio bearer reconfiguration;
• sending a radio bearer reconfiguration complete message to the network;
• and
• subsequently sending, by the UE, a separate message comprising the combined cell measurement report updated during the radio bearer reconfiguration, the updated combined cell measurement report used to update an active set (AS) of cells.

• receiving, by the UE, a plurality of active set (AS) cells in an active set (AS) update message after completion of the radio bearer reconfiguration;
• and
• rejecting, by the UE, at least one AS cell of the plurality of AS cells in the received AS update message, the rejecting based on the updated combined cell measurement report.
