Abstract

A first network node transmits, to a wireless device, a first indication. The first indication indicates to select, out of a plurality of target links simultaneously fulfilling a respective condition to switch from a source link to a target link, a first target link to switch from the source link to the selected first target link. The selecting is based on at least one of: a Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) value, a Reference Signal Received Quality (RSRQ) value, a Signal to Interference and noise ratio (SINR) value, a priority, Random Access Channel (RACH) resources, a cell in which latest measurements were made, or a frequency, of the respective target links in the plurality of target links. The first network node then handles the link switch from the source link to the target link, based on the transmitted first indication.
