Can UE send measurement report even if current Handover is in still process?

Hello Experts.

Can UE send measurement report even if current Handover is in still process?

Is it a valid use case?

Yes, UE can send measurement reports even if a handover is in progress.

This is a valid use case because it allows the UE to continue to monitor the quality of the signal from both the serving cell and the target cell.

This information can be used to make a more informed decision about which cell to camp on once the handover is complete.

Thanks :blush:

What should be the gNB behavior?

Should it stop the current HO and enter the new?

gNB should not stop the current HO and entertain the new.

This is because the current HO is already in progress, and stopping it could lead to a call drop.
