Claim 1:
2. The method of claim 1, wherein selecting the beam of the target cell from the list of tracked beams for the target cell comprises:
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; 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:
determining 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.
