Claim 10:
11. A method of a User Equipment (UE), comprising:
receiving, in a first cell, a signal to configure the UE to perform a Random Access Channel-less (RACH-less) handover to a second cell, wherein:
the signal comprises a configuration of the second cell; and
the configuration, in the signal received in the first cell, is indicative of a beam to be used by the UE to monitor a channel of the second cell; and

performing, based upon a quality of the beam, an action, comprising initiating a random access procedure in the second cell the configuration of which is included in the signal received in the first cell, if at least one of the quality of the beam that is indicated by the configuration in the signal received in the first cell does not exceed a threshold quality or the beam is determined to not be qualified using at least one of a Medium Access Control (MAC) layer or a Physical (PHY) layer, wherein the configuration is used in the second cell if at least one of the quality of the beam does exceed the threshold quality or the beam is determined to be qualified using at least one of the MAC layer or the PHY layer, wherein the threshold quality is at least one of a threshold Synchronization Signal (SS)-Reference Received Signal Power (RSRP) or a threshold Channel State Information (CSI)-RSRP.
