Claim 8:
9. A user equipment (UE) for performing a UE based handover, the UE comprising:
a receiver configured to receive a radio resource control (RRC) message including a UE based handover configuration and a configuration for a target cell, from a source base station that generates the UE based handover configuration, the RRC message also including a timer value for indicating a validity period for the handover; and
a controller configured to determine whether or not to perform the UE based handover based on the UE based handover configuration received from the source base station, and to perform the UE based handover towards the target cell using the configuration for the target cell based on the determination,
wherein the UE, in response to a determination that the timer is running and therefore the UE based handover is still valid, but not yet to be performed, even when a reporting condition or event used for handover execution is satisfied, prohibits or suppresses triggering a measurement reporting relative to reference signal received quality (RSRQ), prohibits or suppresses initiating the RSRQ measurement reporting, and prohibits or suppresses transferring the RSRQ measurement reporting,
wherein the UE, in response to the determination that the timer is running and therefore the UE based handover is still valid, but not yet to be performed, even when the reporting condition or event used for the handover execution is satisfied, prohibits or suppresses triggering a measurement reporting relative to reference signal received power (RSRP), prohibits or suppresses initiating the RSRP measurement reporting, and prohibits or suppresses transferring the RSRP measurement reporting, and
wherein the UE, in response to the determination that the timer is running and therefore the UE based handover is still valid, but not yet to be performed, even when the reporting condition or event used for the handover execution is satisfied, prohibits or suppresses triggering a measurement reporting relative to reference signal signal-to-interference plus noise ratio (RS-SINR), prohibits or suppresses initiating the RS-SINR measurement reporting, and prohibits or suppresses transferring the RS-SINR measurement reporting.
