Application: Successive conditional handover (Patent ID: US20230422138A1)

The patent filed by ZTE Corp. describes a method for wireless communication that involves conditional handover procedures to improve reliability and reduce handover interruption time. The method includes sending a conditional handover request from a source node to a target node, receiving candidate cell information in response, and sending a radio resource control message to a user equipment with candidate cell configurations and execution conditions for handover. The handover process is initiated based on meeting the execution conditions for a candidate cell configuration.

The patent also covers methods for receiving conditional handover requests, sending candidate cell configurations in response, and facilitating the handover process from a source cell to a target candidate cell. The method involves sending radio resource control messages with candidate cell configurations and execution conditions, as well as exchanging success messages between nodes to inform the completion of the handover process. Additionally, the patent includes a wireless communications apparatus with a processor and memory configured to implement the described method for improving handover procedures in wireless communication networks.
