Layer 1 or layer 2 triggered mobility

In wireless communication, a device may change, add, or handover between cells of network access for inter-cell mobility. This may include Layer 1 and / or Layer 2 (L1 / L2) signaling for a user equipment (UE) moving between cells in a network. There may be a configuration message that includes configurations for one or more Layer 1 (“L1”) or Layer 2 (“L2”) Triggered Mobility (“LTM”) candidate cells. A measurement report with L1 measurements for the LTM candidate cells is used for a cell switch command to indicate a target LTM candidate cell to trigger execution of a LTM cell switch to the target LTM candidate cell. The LTM cell switch is from a source cell to the target LTM candidate cell.
