Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 12:
13. The wireless communication device of claim 12, wherein the circuitry is further operable to select the beam of the target cell from the list of tracked beams for the target cell by:
determine that there are no dedicated random access channel resources allocated for contention-free random access for the best beam in the list of tracked beams for the target cell; and
upon determining that there are no dedicated random access channel resources allocated for contention-free random access for the best beam in the list of tracked beams for the target cell:
determine whether a quality of a k-th best beam in the list of tracked beams for the target cell is greater than a threshold, the k-th best beam being a beam for which dedicated random access channel resources are allocated, where the selected beam of the target cell is the k-th best beam if the quality of the k-th best beam is greater than the threshold.
