Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 2:
3. An apparatus, comprising:
at least one processor; and
at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code configured, with the at least one processor, to cause the apparatus to perform at least the following:
determine based on at least one of a measurement report received from a terminal device and a mobility trajectory of the terminal device, a prepared cell list that includes a set of cells where the terminal device is capable of handover, wherein the set of cells comprises a plurality of prepared cells;
send at least one required context for the handover to the set of cells in the prepared cell list;
receive acknowledgement from the set of cells; and
send a handover command that contains the prepared cell list to the terminal device, wherein the prepared cell list provides a capability for the terminal device to make multiple consecutive handovers in response to the terminal device being within a coverage area of the set of cells,
wherein the at least one required context includes multiple contexts, wherein each context is generated based on a path for the terminal device to reach a particular one of the set of cells from the apparatus, and
wherein each path requires a different horizontally generated key for handover.
