A method, performed by a user equipment, UE, the method comprising: establishing a first cell connection with a first base station, BS, while maintaining an existing second cell connection with a second BS; determining that a first transmission time of a first signal transmitted by the first BS is less than a threshold time duration from a second transmission time of a second signal transmitted by the second BS, wherein the threshold time duration is a minimum time required by the UE for switching from the first cell connection to the second cell connection, wherein the UE is configured to use a first receive beam to receive the first signal and a second receive beam to receive the second signal, wherein the first receive beam is different than the second receive beam, and wherein the first signal is associated with one or more first communication metrics and the second signal is associated with one or more second communication metrics; based on determining that the first transmission time is less than the threshold time duration from the second transmission time: determining which one of the one or more first communication metrics and the one or more second communication metrics has priority over the other; if the one or more first communication metrics have priority over the one or more second communication metrics, receiving the first signal using the first receive beam instead of the second signal using the second receive beam; and if the one or more second communication metrics have priority over the one or more first communication metrics, receiving the second signal using the second receive beam instead of the first signal using the first receive beam. establishing a first cell connection with a first base station, BS, while maintaining an existing second cell connection with a second BS; determining that a first transmission time of a first signal transmitted by the first BS is less than a threshold time duration from a second transmission time of a second signal transmitted by the second BS, wherein the threshold time duration is a minimum time required by the UE for switching from the first cell connection to the second cell connection, wherein the UE is configured to use a first receive beam to receive the first signal and a second receive beam to receive the second signal, wherein the first receive beam is different than the second receive beam, and wherein the first signal is associated with one or more first communication metrics and the second signal is associated with one or more second communication metrics; based on determining that the first transmission time is less than the threshold time duration from the second transmission time: determining which one of the one or more first communication metrics and the one or more second communication metrics has priority over the other; if the one or more first communication metrics have priority over the one or more second communication metrics, receiving the first signal using the first receive beam instead of the second signal using the second receive beam; and if the one or more second communication metrics have priority over the one or more first communication metrics, receiving the second signal using the second receive beam instead of the first signal using the first receive beam. determining which one of the one or more first communication metrics and the one or more second communication metrics has priority over the other; if the one or more first communication metrics have priority over the one or more second communication metrics, receiving the first signal using the first receive beam instead of the second signal using the second receive beam; and if the one or more second communication metrics have priority over the one or more first communication metrics, receiving the second signal using the second receive beam instead of the first signal using the first receive beam.
