Claim 7:
8. A user equipment (UE) for wireless communication, comprising:
one or more memories; and
one or more processors, coupled to the one or more memories, which are configured, individually or in any combination, to:
detect that a timer has expired prior to completing a handover of the UE from a source base station (BS) to a target BS;
selectively maintain, based at least in part on detecting that the timer has expired prior to completing the handover and whether a connection between the UE and the source BS satisfies a connection condition, the connection,
wherein the UE is configured to maintain the connection without an action associated with a radio link failure being performed based at least in part on the timer having expired prior to completing the handover and the connection satisfying the connection condition; and
