Claim 21:
22. A method of wireless communication performed by a control node in a wireless network, comprising:
transmitting, to a child node, a transmission configuration indicating one or more first parameters for transmission of an uplink sounding reference signal (SRS), by the child node, for a handover procedure from a serving node to a neighbor node of a plurality of neighbor nodes,
wherein the child node, the control node, the serving node, and the neighbor node are each in the wireless network and separate from each other;

transmitting, to at least one neighbor node of the plurality of neighbor nodes, a reception configuration indicating one or more second parameters for reception of the uplink SRS for the handover procedure,
wherein at least one of: transmitting the transmission configuration is based at least in part on receiving information of the child node from the child node, wherein the one or more first parameters is for at least one of: aligning a transmission time of the uplink SRS with an active time period of the at least one neighbor node, or aligning a transmit beam direction of the uplink SRS with a receive beam direction of the at least one neighbor node; or transmitting the reception configuration is based at least in part on receiving information of the at least one neighbor node, wherein the one or more second parameters is for at least one of: aligning the active time period of the at least one neighbor node with the transmission time of the uplink SRS, or aligning the receive beam direction of the at least one neighbor nodes with the transmit beam direction of the uplink SRS;

receiving a measurement report, from each of at least a subset of neighbor nodes of the plurality of neighbor nodes, based at least in part on transmitting the reception configuration;
selecting a neighbor node of the plurality of neighbor nodes based at least in part on the measurement report; and
initiating the handover procedure with the selected neighbor node.
