Abstract
A method and system for mobility latency reduction in a hierarchical NR architecture is provided. In an embodiment, a method in a network component for handover of a UE includes configuring, by the network component, at least one TRP determined according to UE mobility information. The configuring the at least one target TRP is performed prior to the UE moving into a border area between the at least one target TRP and a first serving TRP. Configuring the at least one target TRP results in the at least one target TRP being configured to act as a secondary serving TRP to the UE. The method also includes configuring at least one target TRP and the UE with corresponding dedicated access resource and monitoring opportunities. The method also includes activating a connection and data communication between the UE and the at least one pre-configured secondary serving TRP.
