Abstract:
Methods implemented in a network device and a terminal device for facilitating handover of the terminal device served by the network device to a target beam and/or network device. The method in the network device comprises transmitting information on configurations for a set of candidate target beams and/or network devices to the terminal device before the handover of the terminal device is triggered. The method further comprises transmitting a handover command to the terminal device to trigger the handover of the terminal device. The handover command contains an identifier for identifying, from the transmitted information on the configurations for the candidate target beams and/or network devices, the information on the configuration for the target beam and/or network device. The disclosure also provides a network device and a terminal device that perform the above methods respectively.
