Original Abstract Submitted

mechanisms are provided for a user equipment (ue) to perform a handover operation from a first base station in a serving cell to a second base station in a target cell under conditions. the ue can receive a conditional handover instruction including a channel quality condition for the handover operation and an additional condition for the handover operation. the ue may determine an operation order between testing the channel quality condition and testing the additional condition, and further determine whether the channel quality condition or the additional condition is met or not. in response to a determination that the channel quality condition is met and a determination that the additional condition is met, the ue can perform the handover operation to handover the ue from the first base station to the second base station.
