Claim Text:
1. A method of wireless communications, comprising: monitoring, by a user equipment (UE), a signal quality value of at least one of a serving cell or a target cell; setting an internal time to trigger (TTT) to a value less than a network-configured TTT; determining, upon expiration of the internal TTT, that at least one of the signal quality value from the serving cell is below a serving cell threshold value or the signal quality value from the target cell is above the signal quality of the serving cell by a target cell threshold value; triggering generation of a measurement report based on the determination; transmitting the measurement report to the serving cell; and receiving a handoff command to perform a handoff or a soft handoff of the UE to the target cell in response to the transmitting of the measurement report to the serving cell.
