Claim 28:
29. A child node in a wireless network for wireless communication, comprising:
a memory; and
one or more processors coupled to the memory, the one or more processors configured to:
receive, from a control node and based at least in part on transmission information of the child node to the control node, a transmission configuration indicating one or more parameters for transmission of an uplink sounding reference signal (SRS) for a handover procedure from a serving node to one of a plurality of neighbor nodes,
wherein the child node, the control node, the serving node, and the plurality of neighbor nodes are each in the wireless network and separate from each other, and
wherein the one or more parameters is for at least one of:
aligning a transmission time of the uplink SRS with an active time period of one or more neighbor nodes of the plurality of neighbor nodes, or
aligning a transmit beam direction of the uplink SRS with a receive beam direction of the one or more neighbor nodes;

transmit the uplink SRS to each of the plurality of neighbor nodes according to the transmission configuration; and
receive a handover command, indicating a neighbor node of the plurality of neighbor nodes to which the child node is to be handed over, based at least in part on transmitting the uplink SRS.
