RADIO RESOURCE MANAGEMENT (RRM) PROCEDURE DELAY ENHANCEMENT
In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. The method may be performed by a UE. In certain configurations, the UE receives, from a base station, a triggering command for a target cell related to a radio research management (RRM) procedure. The UE determines whether a report for a valid measurement has been transmitted within a predetermined period of time before receiving the triggering command. In response to determining that the report has not been transmitted, the UE transmits, to the base station, the report for the valid measurement of the RRM procedure to shorten a delay of the RRM procedure.
