Abstract

In one aspect of the present disclosure, a user equipment has a processor and a memory including computer program code, where the memory and the computer program code are configured, with the processor, to cause the user equipment to receive from a network node at least one beam-specific mobility parameter associated with at least one respective candidate beam in a serving cell; to switch in the serving cell to a new beam among the at least one candidate beam; and to select a beam-specific mobility parameter associated with the new beam. In another aspect of the present disclosure, a network node has a processor and a memory including computer program code, where the memory and the computer program code are configured, with the processor, to cause the network node to preconfigure at least one beam-specific mobility parameter associated with at least one respective candidate beam in a serving cell; and to send the at least one beam-specific mobility parameter to a user equipment.
