Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 11:
12. A user equipment (UE), comprising:
wireless communication circuitry; and
at least one processor coupled to the wireless communication circuitry and configured to cause the UE to:
transmit, to one or more base stations configured to support one or more cells operating in frequency range 2 (FR2) above 24 GHz, one or more indications of a dual active protocol stack (DAPS) handover capability of the UE corresponding to FR2, wherein the one or more indications further indicate a capability of the UE to support DAPS handover in FR2 with common beam management (CBM) or independent beam management (IBM);
receive, from a target cell of the one or more cells, a command to perform a DAPS handover from a source cell of the one or more cells to the target cell, and
in response to receiving the command to perform the DAPS handover:
perform, while maintaining a data connection with the source cell, measurements on the target cell during the DAPS handover;
perform a physical random access channel (PRACH) procedure on the target cell;
receive, after completion of the PRACH procedure, a source cell release command from the target cell; and
release, in response to receiving the source cell release command, the data connection with the source cell.
